Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, specifically to a UAV mounting structure with a quick-release cable. Background Technology

[0002] Drones are widely used in daily life due to their convenience. In civilian applications, they are mainly used for fire fighting, pesticide spraying, and emergency rescue. As the precision of existing electronic control systems has improved, the size of the onboard control box has also increased. The cable connecting the control box and the external attachments is the key to transmitting signals. Since the external attachments are mostly disposable items, the cables they carry are replaced each time as needed. Currently, when replacing the onboard control box cable, the drone mounting bracket requires manual disassembly of part of the bracket structure before the cable can be replaced. This results in poor practicality of the drone mounting bracket and makes it inconvenient for personnel to disassemble and replace the cable. Furthermore, the current redundant rack structure results in a large rack weight, which requires the drone to expend more power when carrying the rack. The heavy rack also affects the drone's operational flexibility, leading to poor lightweighting of the rack structure and making it cumbersome during operation. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a drone mounting structure with a quick-release cable, thus solving the aforementioned issues.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drone mounting structure with a quick-release cable, including a mounting frame, a front cabin fixedly connected to the middle of one side of the mounting frame, a rear cabin connected to the tail of one side of the mounting frame, a reinforcing frame connected to the head of one side of the mounting frame, and the reinforcing frame and the rear cabin respectively connected to the front and rear ends of the front cabin. The front compartment includes a front compartment, a power control box compartment, and a mounting plate. The front compartment and the power control box compartment are connected, and the mounting plate is located at the rear of the front compartment. The rear compartment has a rear chamber inside, which is connected to the control box chamber. One side of the rear compartment is connected to one side of the mounting plate.

[0005] Preferably, the reinforcing frame has triangular through holes on both sides and two rectangular through holes on the top.

[0006] Preferably, the head of the bracket is provided with a quick-release port, and a quick-release port cover is connected to one side of the head of the bracket, and the quick-release port cover is disposed in the reinforcing frame.

[0007] Preferably, the bracket has two vertical limiting holes on one side and a yaw limiting hole on the other side, with the yaw limiting hole positioned between the two vertical limiting holes.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the mounting bracket has two mounting slots, one of which is located in the forward compartment, and the other is located in the engine control box compartment and the aft compartment.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the bracket is connected to a slide rail.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This application, through the cooperation of the front compartment, the control box compartment, and the rear compartment, can accommodate a larger control box and facilitate the installation of cables through the front and rear compartments. This solves the problem of the inconvenience of replacing the airborne control box cables of UAVs, which is conducive to improving the practicality of the UAV rack and makes it easier for personnel to disassemble and replace cables. 2. This application uses the front hull and the rack to be manufactured as a single unit, which minimizes the height while meeting the dimensions of the quick-release cover. At the same time, the hollow design of the reinforced frame facilitates the disassembly and installation of the quick-release cover, which greatly reduces the weight of the rack structure and solves the problem of the current rack structure being too heavy due to redundancy. This is conducive to improving the lightweight design of the rack structure. Attached Figure Description

[0013] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0014] Please see Figures 1 to 5 A drone mounting structure with a quick-release cable includes a mounting frame 1. A front cabin 2 is fixedly connected to the middle of one side of the mounting frame 1. The front cabin 2 is integrally manufactured with the mounting frame 1. The height is reduced to the maximum extent while meeting the size of the quick-release cover 6, thereby reducing the overall weight of the mounting structure. A rear cabin 3 is connected to the tail of one side of the mounting frame 1. It should be noted that lifting lugs are installed on the top of the front cabin 2 and the rear cabin 3. The mounting structure is connected to the lower part of the drone through the lifting lugs installed on the top of the front cabin 2 and the rear cabin 3, thus installing the mounting structure on the lower part of the drone. A reinforcing frame 4 is connected to the head of one side of the mounting frame 1. The reinforcing frame 4 and the rear cabin 3 are respectively connected to the front and rear ends of the front cabin 2. The front compartment 2 includes a front compartment 201, a launch control box compartment 202, and a mounting plate 203. The front compartment 201 and the launch control box compartment 202 are connected. The launch control box is installed in the launch control box compartment 202. The launch control box is the core electronic control unit responsible for managing and controlling the launch, deployment, and activation process of the payload carried by the pylon. It is a key component to ensure that the payload can perform its mission reliably, accurately, and safely. The launch control box is a well-known technology and is a conventional means that can be understood and implemented by those skilled in the art based on common sense. Therefore, it will not be described in detail here. It should be further explained that the external stores are located below the rack structure, and the connection between the engine control box and the external stores requires the use of cables to transmit signals. Therefore, the cables connected to the engine control box are located in the forward compartment 201 and the aft compartment 301 and connected to the engine control box in the engine control box compartment 202. Specifically, hatches are provided on both sides of the front compartment 201 and the rear compartment 301. When the cables are disassembled and replaced, personnel open the hatches to replace the cables in the front compartment 201 and the rear compartment 301. During normal operation, the hatches are closed to keep the front compartment 201 and the rear compartment 301 sealed. More specifically, a hatch is also provided on one side of the engine control box 202. Similarly, the hatch is opened for maintenance of the engine control box. The hatch is closed during normal operation. The mounting plate 203 is located at the rear of the front compartment 2. The rear compartment 3 has a rear compartment 301 inside, which is connected to the control box 202. One side of the rear compartment 3 is connected to one side of the mounting plate 203. During installation, the rear compartment 301 is connected to the bracket 1 by bolts, and is also connected to the mounting plate 203 by bolts, so as to install and connect the rear compartment 301, the bracket 1, and the front compartment 2 together.

[0015] The reinforcing frame 4 has triangular through holes 401 on both sides and two rectangular through holes 402 on the top. The reinforcing frame 4 is connected to the bracket 1 by bolts and to the front cabin 2 by bolts. The hollow design of the reinforcing frame 4 makes it easy for personnel to directly disassemble and install the quick-release cover 6. On the other hand, the hollow design of the reinforcing frame 4 can greatly reduce the weight of the bracket structure while ensuring strength.

[0016] The head of the hanger 1 is provided with a quick-release port 5, and a quick-release port cover 6 is connected to one side of the head of the hanger 1. The quick-release port cover 6 is set in the reinforcing frame 4. After the external object is installed on the hanger 1, it is fixed in position by the quick-release port 5. Personnel can easily install and remove the quick-release port cover 6 through the triangular through hole 401 and the rectangular through hole 402 of the reinforcing frame 4, and then operate on the quick-release port 5.

[0017] Two vertical limiting holes 7 are provided on one side of the bracket 1, and a directional limiting hole 8 is provided on one side of the bracket 1. The directional limiting hole 8 is located between the two vertical limiting holes 7. The vertical limiting holes 7 and the directional limiting hole 8 are provided at the bottom of the bracket 1, which play a role in fixing the external object in all directions.

[0018] The top of the mounting bracket 1 has two mounting slots 9, in which a mechanism for arranging cables can be installed to ensure the neatness of the cables. One mounting slot 9 is located in the forward compartment 201, and the other mounting slot 9 is located in the control box compartment 202 and the rear compartment 301.

[0019] The bottom of the bracket 1 is connected to a slide rail 10. When installing the external object, it is installed along the slide rail 10 at the bottom of the bracket 1. After reaching the appropriate position, the fixing block that is compatible with the vertical limiting hole 7 and the yaw limiting hole 8 is inserted into the vertical limiting hole 7, the yaw limiting hole 8 and the external object. Then, bolts are used to connect and fix them together. It should be noted that the fixing block that is compatible with the vertical limiting hole 7 and the yaw limiting hole 8 is a common insert structure. The current technology is very mature. Those skilled in the art can and should understand its specific function and structure, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0020] When using this utility model: First, lifting lugs are installed on the top of the front cabin 2 and the rear cabin 3. The mounting structure is connected to the lower part of the drone through the lifting lugs installed on the top of the front cabin 2 and the rear cabin 3, so as to install the mounting structure on the lower part of the drone. Secondly, the launch control box is installed in the launch control box compartment 202. The launch control box is the core electronic control unit responsible for managing and controlling the launch, deployment, and activation process of the payload carried on the pylon. It is a key component to ensure that the payload can perform its mission reliably, accurately, and safely. The external stores are located below the pylon structure. Moreover, the launch control box and the external stores need to use cables to transmit signals. Therefore, the cables connected to the launch control box are located in the front compartment 201 and the rear compartment 301 and connected to the launch control box in the launch control box compartment 202. Then, hatches are provided on both sides of the front compartment 201 and the rear compartment 301. When the cables are disassembled and replaced, the personnel open the hatches to replace the cables in the front compartment 201 and the rear compartment 301. During normal operation, the hatches are closed to keep the front compartment 201 and the rear compartment 301 closed. More specifically, the engine control box 202 also has a hatch on one side. Similarly, the hatch is opened for maintenance of the engine control box, and closed during normal operation. Finally, the external attachment is installed along the slide rail 10 at the bottom of the bracket 1. After reaching the appropriate position, the fixing block that is compatible with the vertical limiting hole 7 and the yaw limiting hole 8 is inserted into the vertical limiting hole 7, the yaw limiting hole 8 and the external attachment. Then, bolts are used to connect and fix them together.
