Description
Technical Field

[0002] Drones are devices operated using radio remote control equipment and their own program control devices, or operated autonomously by an onboard computer, either completely or intermittently. When drones are conducting night patrols, lighting equipment needs to be attached to the drone via a mounting mechanism.
[0003] For example, a drone night lighting device with authorization announcement number CN220616178U includes a drone body, a connecting shell at the bottom of the drone body, a fan blade inside the connecting shell, and a connecting turntable fixedly connected to one end of the fan blade; although the above document can achieve the cooling of the lamp body by the airflow generated by the fan blade, thereby avoiding the lamp body from working at high temperature for a long time and shortening the lamp body's service life.
[0004] However, when fixing the light fixture, the clamping block is pressed against the lamp body by the elastic force of the spring to fix it. Since slight vibrations may occur when the drone is flying, the spring is prone to elastic deformation, which leads to unstable clamping force of the spring. This causes fluctuations in the clamping force between the clamping block and the lamp body, thereby reducing the clamping effect of the light fixture. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a nighttime lighting mounting mechanism suitable for drones. It solves the problem that slight vibrations may occur during drone flight, causing instability in the clamping force of the spring, which in turn causes fluctuations in the clamping force between the clamping block and the lamp body, thus reducing the effectiveness of the lighting fixture.

[0007] Preferably, a vertical rod is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the second connecting plate, the vertical rod passing through the horizontal plate and being movably connected to the horizontal plate.
[0008] Preferably, a positioning mechanism is provided between the horizontal plate and the horizontal column, and two sets of positioning mechanisms are provided; the positioning mechanism includes a horizontal groove, a slot, a protrusion, and a locking strip; the horizontal groove is opened below the outer wall of the horizontal plate, the slot is opened below the outer wall of the horizontal plate, the upper part of the horizontal groove is connected to the slot, the top of the horizontal column is fixedly connected to the protrusion, the top of the protrusion is fixedly connected to the locking strip, and the outer wall of the protrusion and the outer wall of the locking strip are respectively inserted into the inner wall of the horizontal groove and the inner wall of the slot.

[0011] Beneficial effects
[0012] This utility model provides a night lighting mounting mechanism suitable for drones. It has the following advantages: This night lighting mounting mechanism for drones, through the cooperation of studs, a second connecting plate, a locking block, a nut, and a crossbar, improves the fixing effect of the lighting lamp.

[0020] 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.
[0021] Slight vibrations may occur during drone flight, causing instability in the clamping force of the spring. This, in turn, causes fluctuations in the clamping force between the clamp and the lamp body, thereby reducing the clamping effect of the lighting lamp.
[0022] In view of this, the present invention provides a night lighting mounting mechanism suitable for drones. Through the cooperation between the stud, the second connecting plate, the locking block, the nut and the crossbar, the fixing effect of the lighting lamp is improved. This solves the problem that when the drone is flying, slight vibrations may occur, which may cause the clamping force of the spring to be unstable, and thus cause fluctuations in the clamping force between the clamping block and the lamp body, thereby reducing the clamping effect of the lighting lamp.
[0023] Those skilled in the art can connect the components in this case sequentially. The specific connection and operation sequence should refer to the working principle below. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in the field. The working principle and process are mainly introduced below.
[0024] Example 1, by Figures 1 to 5As can be seen, the night lighting mounting mechanism for drones in this case includes a main body 1, a lamp holder 3 is provided below the main body 1, an illumination lamp 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lamp holder 3, a horizontal plate 7 is provided above the illumination lamp 2, and a fixing mechanism is provided on the outside of the horizontal plate 7. The fixing mechanism is provided in two sets. The fixing mechanism includes a stud 11, a second connecting plate 12, a locking block 13, a nut 14 and a horizontal column 16. The outer wall of the stud 11 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the horizontal plate 7. The end of the stud 11 is rotatably connected to the second connecting plate 12 through a bearing. The locking block 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second connecting plate 12. The outer wall of the stud 11 is threadedly connected to the nut 14. The outer wall of the nut 14 is attached to the surface of the horizontal plate 7. The outer wall of the lamp holder 3 is fixedly connected to the horizontal column 16. The outer wall of the locking block 13 is inserted into the lower part of the outer wall of the horizontal column 16.
[0025] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the model of the main body 1 is selected according to the actual situation, as long as it meets the working conditions. The lighting lamp 2 adopts a high-power LED integrated light source. Taking the CREEX HP70.2COB light source as an example, the luminous efficacy can reach 130lm / W (3 times that of halogen lamps). Under the same brightness, the power consumption is only 1 / 2 of that of xenon lamps, which can reduce the power consumption of independent power supply components (such as battery compartments) and extend the single operation endurance (from 2 hours to 3.5 hours). The lighting lamp 2 is electrically connected to the main body 1, thereby providing power to the lighting lamp 2. The top of the stud 11 has a socket with a hexagonal shape.
[0026] When fixing the light lamp 2 to the main body 1, the worker moves the lamp holder 3, thereby moving the light lamp 2, and brings the lamp holder 3 into contact with the bottom of the horizontal plate 7. After that, the worker inserts a hex wrench into the socket at the top of the stud 11 and turns the wrench, thereby turning the stud 11. The stud 11 rotates in the horizontal plate 7, and the stud 11 drives the second connecting plate 12 to move. The second connecting plate 12 drives the locking block 13 to move, inserting the locking block 13 into the locking hole at the bottom of the horizontal column 16. The shape of the locking hole matches the shape of the locking block 13. After that, the worker stops turning the wrench, removes the wrench, and rotates the nut 14 onto the stud 11 to further limit the stud 11. The light lamp 2 is then installed on the main body 1, so that the main body 1 can provide illumination during night patrols, thereby improving the fixing effect of the light lamp 2.
[0027] Furthermore, a vertical rod 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the second connecting plate 12. The vertical rod 15 passes through the horizontal plate 7 and is movably connected to the horizontal plate 7.
[0028] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that when the second connecting plate 12 moves, the second connecting plate 12 drives the upright 15 to move. The upright 15 moves in the horizontal plate 7 to limit the second connecting plate 12, prevent the second connecting plate 12 from rotating and shifting under the drive of the stud 11, and ensure that the second connecting plate 12 always moves in a straight line.
[0029] Furthermore, a positioning mechanism is provided between the horizontal plate 7 and the horizontal column 16, and two sets of positioning mechanisms are provided. The positioning mechanism includes a horizontal groove 17, a slot 18, a protrusion 19, and a locking strip 20. The horizontal groove 17 is opened below the outer wall of the horizontal plate 7, and the slot 18 is opened below the outer wall of the horizontal plate 7. The upper part of the horizontal groove 17 is connected to the slot 18. The top of the horizontal column 16 is fixedly connected to the protrusion 19, and the top of the protrusion 19 is fixedly connected to the locking strip 20. The outer wall of the protrusion 19 and the outer wall of the locking strip 20 are respectively inserted into the inner wall of the horizontal groove 17 and the inner wall of the slot 18.
[0030] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that when fixing the lighting lamp 2, the lamp holder 3 drives the horizontal column 16 to move, the horizontal column 16 drives the protruding strip 19 to move, and the protruding strip 19 drives the locking strip 20 to move, thereby inserting the protruding strip 19 and the locking strip 20 into the horizontal groove 17 and the locking groove 18 in sequence, thereby positioning the lamp holder 3 and preventing the lamp holder 3 from shifting in the direction perpendicular to the horizontal column 16.
[0031] Example 2, by Figure 2-4 It can be seen that the bottom of the main body 1 is fixedly connected to the first connecting plate 10 by bolts, the bottom of the first connecting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the empty box 4, the bottom of the inner wall of the empty box 4 is fixedly connected to the motor 5 by bolts, the output end of the motor 5 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 6, the outer wall of the rotating shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the lower inner wall of the empty box 4 by bearings, and the bottom of the rotating shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal plate 7.
[0032] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the model of motor 5 is M4006HP, and the side wall of the empty box 4 is provided with heat dissipation holes and wiring holes, so as to dissipate heat from motor 5 and connect the wiring. The motor 5 is connected to the main body 1 by wires.
[0033] When the lighting lamp 2 needs to be rotated, the staff starts the motor 5. The motor 5 drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate, the rotating shaft 6 drives the horizontal plate 7 to rotate, and the horizontal plate 7 drives the lighting lamp 2 to rotate. After the rotation is completed, the staff stops the motor 5 to adjust the illumination angle of the lighting lamp 2 to adapt to different nighttime operation needs.
[0034] Furthermore, a groove 8 is provided on the surface of the horizontal plate 7, and a slider 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the empty box 4. The outer wall of the slider 9 is slidably engaged with the inner wall of the groove 8.
[0035] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the groove 8 is annular and the slider 9 is arc-shaped. When the horizontal plate 7 rotates, the slider 9 at the bottom of the empty box 4 slides in the groove 8 on the surface of the horizontal plate 7, providing guidance and support for the rotation of the horizontal plate 7 and ensuring the stability of the rotation process.
[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
