Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of racing drone technology, and in particular to a camera vibration reduction module and a racing drone. Background Technology

[0002] During high-speed flight of a FPV drone, the aircraft body will generate high-frequency vibrations due to air disturbances, motor vibrations, or rapid acceleration and deceleration. These vibrations will be transmitted to the camera module through the aircraft structure, resulting in image jitter and blurry image quality (such as the "jelly effect"), which seriously affects the real-time performance and stability of flight control.

[0003] Traditional vibration damping solutions are relatively simple, using only rubber pads or sponge pads to isolate vibrations, which cannot effectively attenuate complex vibrations in multiple directions (lateral and longitudinal). In addition, the camera and image transmission module are directly and rigidly fixed to the body, and the vibration transmission path is not interrupted, resulting in frame loss due to jitter interference in the image transmission signal. Moreover, traditional vibration damping solutions have a low degree of modularity, making it difficult to adapt to different models of racing drone bodies or camera modules. Utility Model Content

[0019] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. "Multiple" refers to at least two.

[0021] The directional terms used in the embodiments of this application, such as "upper," "lower," "inner," "outer," "top," "bottom," and "side," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for better and clearer explanation and understanding of this application. The embodiments described herein are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this application.

[0022] In the embodiments of this application, the relative positional relationships mentioned, such as parallel, perpendicular, and aligned, are defined in relation to the current technological level, rather than being absolutely strict. Slight deviations are permissible; approximations of parallelism, perpendicularity, or alignment are all acceptable. For example, "A and B are parallel" means that A and B are parallel or approximately parallel, and the angle between A and B can be between 0 and 10 degrees. Similarly, "A and B are perpendicular" means that A and B are perpendicular or approximately perpendicular, and the angle between A and B can be between 80 and 100 degrees.

[0023] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "first," "second," "third," and "fourth" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first," "second," "third," and "fourth" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0024] Combination Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, this application discloses a camera vibration reduction module. The camera vibration reduction module is small in size, compact in structure, has good vibration reduction effect, is easy to disassemble and assemble, and can be connected to multiple external flight carriers 4.

[0025] Specifically, the camera vibration damping module includes a camera 1 and an image transmission module 2 electrically connected to the camera 1, as well as a vibration damping frame 3 for mounting the camera 1 and the image transmission module 2. The vibration damping frame 3 includes an inner support 31, an outer support 32, and a vibration damping component installed between the inner support 31 and the outer support 32 for connecting them. Both the camera 1 and the image transmission module 2 are connected to the inner support 31, and the outer support 32 is connected to an external flight platform 4. Preferably, the external flight platform 4 can be a racing drone. This camera vibration damping module, configured in this way, can interrupt the vibration transmission path through the vibration damping component located between the inner support 31 and the outer support 32, avoiding interference with the operation of the camera 1 and the image transmission module 2 fixed to the inner support 31. Furthermore, its modular design not only facilitates disassembly and maintenance but also improves its versatility and adaptability.

[0026] Furthermore, to effectively attenuate complex vibrations in multiple directions (lateral and longitudinal) and provide a stable operating environment for camera 1, preventing frame loss due to jitter interference in the image transmission signal, multiple shock absorbers are preferably provided. These include a lateral shock absorber 331 located in the middle of the inner bracket 31 and the outer bracket 32, and a longitudinal shock absorber 332 located at both ends of the inner bracket 31 and the outer bracket 32. The lateral and longitudinal shock absorbers 331 and 332 have identical structures, both integrally molded from rubber or silicone. Specifically, each shock absorber includes a shock absorber column and annular grooves circumferentially recessed at both ends of the shock absorber column, thereby achieving a snap-fit ​​connection with the inner bracket 31 and the outer bracket 32 ​​through the annular grooves at both ends of the shock absorber column. This structure satisfies multi-directional shock absorption while facilitating quick and easy assembly and disassembly with the inner bracket 31 and the outer bracket.

[0027] More specifically, the aforementioned outer support 32 includes a left outer support 321, a right outer support 322, a first support beam 323 laterally fastened to the front ends of the left outer support 321 and the right outer support 322, and a second support beam 324 laterally fastened to the middle of the left outer support 321 and the right outer support 322; the first support beam is located below the camera 1, and the second support beam is located above the camera 1; the arrangement of the first support beam 323 and the second support beam 324 not only enables the left outer support 321 and the right outer support 322 to be rigidly connected as one unit, but also effectively limits the distance between the left outer support 321 and the right outer support 322 through the arrangement of the first support beam 323 and the second support beam 324, thereby facilitating the installation of multiple lateral shock absorbers 331.

[0028] More specifically, the multiple inner supports 31 connected to the outer support 32 via shock absorbers include a left inner support 311 and a right inner support 312. The camera 1 is hinged between the left inner support 311 and the right inner support 312 and can adjust the elevation and depression angles. The image transmission module 2 is fastened to the left inner support 311 and the right inner support 312, thereby achieving the installation and fixation of the camera 1 and the image transmission module 2, so that they are assembled with the outer support 32 as a whole.

[0029] Furthermore, to facilitate the lateral damping connection between the inner support 31 and the outer support 32 via the damping components, the upper edges of the left inner support 311, the left outer support 321, the right inner support 312, and the right outer support 322 are all provided with the aforementioned lateral damping components 331. The left outer support 321, the right outer support 322, the left inner support 311, and the right inner support 312 are all provided with slots that engage with the annular grooves at both ends of the lateral damping components 331. During assembly, the inner support 31 and the outer support 32 can be easily and quickly engaged with the inner support 31 and the outer support 32 via the annular grooves at both ends of the aforementioned lateral damping components 331, thereby effectively improving assembly efficiency.

[0030] Similarly, in order to simultaneously satisfy the longitudinal damping connection between the inner support 31 and the outer support 32, preferably, the front and rear ends of the left inner support 311 and the left outer support 321, as well as the right inner support 312 and the right outer support 322 are each provided with a first mounting seat 5 for installing the longitudinal damping component 332. During installation, it is only necessary to snap the two ends of the longitudinal damping component 332 into the corresponding first mounting seat 5.

[0031] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the quick and easy connection between the camera shock absorption module assembled in the above manner and the external flight carrier 4, a second mounting base 6 is horizontally extended on the outer side of the left outer bracket 321 and the right outer bracket 322, respectively. During installation, the second mounting base 6 and the external flight carrier 4 can be fastened together with screws.

[0032] In addition, this embodiment also has an antenna assembly installed on the outside of the left outer bracket 321 and the right outer bracket 322. The antenna assembly consists of an antenna mount and an antenna. The antenna mount is fastened to the corresponding left outer bracket 321 and right outer bracket 322 by screws, so that it forms an independent module with the camera 1 and the image transmission module 2, which facilitates the use of each external flight carrier 4.

[0033] This embodiment also provides a racing drone, which has the aforementioned camera vibration damping module installed at the front end of the frame. This, together with the flight propulsion unit mounted on the frame, forms a complete aircraft, thereby meeting the overall operational requirements. The installation of this camera vibration damping module effectively improves the assembly efficiency of the entire aircraft, and it is easy to replace and maintain, making it convenient and practical.

[0034] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
