A payload drone structure

Abstract

This utility model discloses a heavy-duty drone structure, including a drone body. A load-bearing box is located at the lower end of the drone body. A frame is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the load-bearing box. A bidirectional motor is fixedly mounted in the middle of the frame. Each output end of the bidirectional motor has a lead screw. The other end of each lead screw is rotatably mounted to the inner wall of the frame. Sliding blocks are slidably mounted inside the frame. Each lead screw is threadedly connected to a sliding block. A clamping plate is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of each sliding block. The user can place the medicine box to be transported inside the load-bearing box and position it in a relatively central position. Then, the bidirectional motor is controlled to rotate the lead screw, which in turn moves the clamping plate, causing the anti-slip pads on the inner wall of the clamping plate to abut against the sides of the medicine box, thus securing it and facilitating subsequent transportation.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, and more specifically, to a heavy-duty UAV structure. Background Technology

[0002] A cargo drone is a type of drone capable of carrying and transporting goods. They are typically designed for aerial cargo delivery and can carry various types and sizes of goods, from small packages to large equipment. They have applications in many fields, including agriculture, logistics, and healthcare. For example, in healthcare, drones are widely used to transport medicines between hospitals in different locations within a city, accelerating the delivery process and reducing the inconvenience caused by traffic jams or traffic lights.

[0003] However, most existing heavy-duty drones simply place medicines directly into the cargo box at the bottom of the drone without any securing mechanism. This causes the medicines to shake during transport, resulting in an imbalance of forces on the drone and affecting its stability during flight.

[0004] Furthermore, the protective effect is poor, and the load-bearing boxes are mostly open. In the event of an accident, objects may be thrown from a height, which increases the safety hazards when using the device. Utility Model Content

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a heavy-duty unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) structure, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. By setting up a load-bearing box, a bidirectional motor, a lead screw, and clamps, the user can place the medicine box to be transported inside the load-bearing box and position it in a relatively central position. Then, the bidirectional motor is controlled to rotate the lead screw, which in turn drives the clamps to move so that the anti-slip pads on the inner wall of the clamps abut against the sides of the medicine box, thereby achieving the effect of fixing it and facilitating stable transportation afterwards.

[0019] 2. By setting up a first baffle, a second baffle, a slide rail, and a connecting plate, after the medicine box is fixed, the first and second baffles can be moved to close by the cooperation of the guide post and guide hole. Then, the connecting plate is rotated so that one end of it coincides with the threaded post. Finally, the fastening nut is tightened to install one end of the connecting plate onto the threaded post, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the first and second baffles. This design can shield and protect the front of the medicine box to prevent accidental slippage and increase safety during transportation.

[0020] 3. By setting up the mounting cylinder, mounting post, and connecting pin, the user can rotate the connecting nut to move it downwards on the mounting cylinder until the connecting pin is exposed. Then, the connecting pin can be removed from the inside of the connecting hole. At this point, the mounting post and mounting cylinder can be disassembled to remove the load box for easy replacement.

[0032] More specifically, the user can place the medicine box to be transported inside the load box 2 and position it in a relatively central position. Then, the user controls the bidirectional motor 4 to rotate the lead screw 5. At this time, the lead screw 5 will drive the clamping plate 7 to move, so that the anti-slip pad 25 on the inner wall of the clamping plate 7 abuts against the two sides of the medicine box, thereby achieving the effect of fixing it. Then, through the cooperation of the guide post 12 and the guide hole 13, the first baffle 10 and the second baffle 11 are moved to close.

[0037] In summary, when using the entire device: the user can place the medicine box to be transported inside the load box 2 and position it in a relatively central position. Then, the user controls the bidirectional motor 4 to rotate the lead screw 5. At this time, the lead screw 5 will drive the clamping plate 7 to move, so that the anti-slip pad 25 on the inner wall of the clamping plate 7 abuts against the two sides of the medicine box, thereby achieving the effect of fixing it.
