Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a special clamp for transporting unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and in particular to a UAV clamp for transporting iron tower materials, belonging to the field of UAV transportation technology. Background Technology

[0002] In the prior art, such as the utility model with application number 202320324733.5, a cargo-carrying structure for a logistics drone is disclosed. The elastic bolts can tightly lock the bottom of the drone to both sides of the box, ensuring its fixation during transportation.

[0003] The above-mentioned applications still have shortcomings:

[0004] The cargo-carrying structure of this type of logistics drone is not adaptable enough. It lacks adjustment flexibility for non-box-type components such as steel plates (rectangular flat plates) and steel pipes (long columnar shapes) in the construction of iron towers. The limiting range only covers a single type of cargo and cannot meet the transportation needs of multi-specification tower materials. Secondly, the stability is poor and the clamping force is unevenly distributed, making it difficult to adapt to the operation requirements of high-altitude and precise delivery of iron tower materials.

[0005] To address this issue, a UAV transport fixture for iron tower materials was designed to optimize the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a UAV transport fixture for iron tower materials to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] The objective of this utility model can be achieved by adopting the following technical solution:

[0008] A UAV transport fixture for iron tower materials includes a fixed plate with limit components on both sides. A motor is fixed to one end of the top of the fixed plate, and a reel is fixed to the output shaft of the motor. A roll of cloth is wound around the outside of the reel and extends through to the bottom of the fixed plate. The roll of cloth is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom of the fixed plate, and an opening is provided at the connection between the fixed plate and the roll of cloth. A motor is installed at the other end of the top of the fixed plate, and a bidirectional lead screw is fixed to the output shaft of the motor. A slider is symmetrically threaded to the outside of the bidirectional lead screw. Connecting rods are hinged to both sides of the slider, and the ends of the connecting rods away from the slider are hinged to each other. An L-shaped rod is provided at the end of each connecting rod, and a C-shaped plate is installed at the bottom of each L-shaped rod. An insert rod is provided at the bottom of each C-shaped plate.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting component includes a limiting plate and a limiting port. The limiting plates are symmetrically installed on both sides of the fixed plate. Each limiting plate has a limiting port on its top, and the inside of the limiting port is slidably connected to the outside of the L-shaped rod.

[0010] Preferably, a weight-reducing opening is provided on one side of the C-shaped plate, and hollow rods are evenly arranged inside the weight-reducing opening.

[0011] Preferably, the inside of the C-shaped plate is provided with an elastic pad, and a stop block is provided on one side of the top of the C-shaped plate.

[0012] Preferably, the outer side of the roll of cloth is provided with an anti-slip layer, and the outer side of the anti-slip layer is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0013] Preferably, the abutment is set as a semi-circular block, the elastic pad is a rubber pad, and one side of the elastic pad is set as an arc surface.

[0014] Preferably, the insert rods are evenly inclined and set at the bottom of the C-shaped plates on the side that are close to each other, and the insert rods at the bottom of the two sets of C-shaped plates are staggered.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. This utility model, through the combined use of a fixed plate, motor one, roller, cloth roll, motor two, bidirectional lead screw, slider, L-shaped rod, C-shaped plate, insert rod, through-hole, and connecting rod, can utilize the adjustable closed-loop structure formed by the cloth roll to adapt to different specifications of iron tower materials, eliminating the need for frequent clamp changes and improving adaptability. First, the cloth roll is used to wrap the material for initial fixation, and then the C-shaped plate is used to tighten the cloth roll and strengthen the limiting function. Combined with the bottom cross protection of the insert rod, multiple limiting functions ensure the stability of the material transport posture and reduce the risk of falling off. It is especially suitable for the safety requirements of low-altitude lifting, improving operational reliability.

[0017] 2. By using the limiting plate and the limiting port in combination, this utility model can limit the movement of the C-shaped plate to the middle or both ends, making the horizontal movement of the C-shaped plate more stable and reliable, while improving the clamping accuracy of the tower material.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, this embodiment proposes a UAV transport fixture for iron tower materials, including a fixed plate 1. Limiting components 2 are provided on both sides of the fixed plate 1. A motor 3 is fixed to one end of the top of the fixed plate 1. A reel 4 is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 3. A roll of cloth 5 is wound around the outside of the reel 4. The roll of cloth 5 extends to the bottom of the fixed plate 1 and is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom of the fixed plate 1. An opening 12 is provided at the connection between the fixed plate 1 and the roll of cloth 5. A motor 6 is installed at the other end of the top of the fixed plate 1. A bidirectional lead screw 7 is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 6. A slider 8 is symmetrically threaded to the outside of the bidirectional lead screw 7. A connecting rod 13 is hinged to both sides of the slider 8. The ends of the connecting rods 13 away from the slider 8 are hinged to each other. An L-shaped rod 9 is provided at the end of each connecting rod 13. A C-shaped plate 10 is installed at the bottom of each L-shaped rod 9. An insert rod 11 is provided at the bottom of each C-shaped plate 10.

[0032] The U-shaped booms at both ends of the top of the fixed plate 1 are installed with the slings at the bottom of the drone. The motor 3 is started, driving the reel 4 to rotate in a preset direction, causing the rolled cloth 5 wrapped around the outside of the reel 4 to be released at a uniform speed along its tangent direction, achieving precise and controllable extension of the length of the rolled cloth 5. Since the other end of the rolled cloth 5 is fixed to the bottom of the fixed plate 1, an adjustable closed-loop structure can be naturally formed at the bottom of the fixed plate 1 during the extension process. After the rolled cloth 5 extends to the preset length, the tower material to be transported is inserted into the closed-loop structure. Then, the motor 3 reverses its rotation, driving the reel 4 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the rolled cloth 5 to be rewound around the outside of the reel 4 until the closed-loop structure formed by the rolled cloth 5 adheres to and wraps around the outer wall of the tower material, completing the initial fixation of the material.

[0033] After the drone lifts the tower material to a relatively low height above the ground, motor 6 is started, driving the bidirectional lead screw 7 to rotate. The bidirectional lead screw 7 synchronously drives the two sets of sliders 8 to move to both ends. The sliders 8 respectively pull the ends of the connecting rod 13 to move synchronously, and then the connecting rod 13 drives the L-shaped rod 9 and the C-shaped plate 10 to move closer to the central tower material.

[0034] When the top of the shaped plate 10 approaches and adheres to the surface, the roll of cloth 5 tightens at the end, causing the closed loop formed by the roll of cloth 5 to adhere more tightly to the surface of the tower material, and the friction of the contact surface is used to achieve reliable positioning of the material; at the same time, the inserts 11 at the bottom of the shaped plate 10 interlock to form a bottom protection structure for the bottom of the tower material, ensuring the stability of the material's posture during transportation.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] The following section provides a further description of the scheme in Example 1, focusing on its specific working method. See the description below for details:

[0037] like Figure 1As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the limiting component 2 further includes a limiting plate 201 and a limiting port 202. The limiting plate 201 is symmetrically installed on both sides of the fixed plate 1. The top of each limiting plate 201 is provided with a limiting port 202, and the inside of the limiting port 202 is slidably connected to the outside of the L-shaped rod 9.

[0038] The starter motor 6 drives the bidirectional lead screw 7 to rotate, and moves the slider 8 in conjunction with it. The slider 8 drives the end of the connecting rod 13 to move simultaneously. When the connecting rod 13 pulls the L-shaped rod 9 to move, it causes the L-shaped rod 9 to move horizontally left and right along the inside of the limiting port 202, which in turn drives the C-shaped plate 10 to move towards the middle or towards both ends, clamping the iron tower materials of different widths.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, a weight-reducing opening is further provided on one side of the C-shaped plate 10, and hollow rods are evenly arranged inside the weight-reducing opening.

[0040] By opening a weight-reduction port and setting a hollow rod, the overall weight of the fixture can be effectively reduced while ensuring the structural strength of the U-shaped plate 10, thereby reducing the load burden on the drone and improving the drone's transport endurance and operational efficiency.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, an elastic pad 15 is further provided inside the C-shaped plate 10, and a stop block 14 is provided on one side of the top of the C-shaped plate 10.

[0042] The elastic pad 15 can buffer and protect the surface of the tower material, preventing damage to the material surface during clamping. The abutment block 14 can effectively limit the movement of the U-shaped plate 10, preventing excessive clamping that could cause structural damage, while ensuring the stability of the clamping.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the outer side of the roll 5 is provided with an anti-slip layer, and the outer side of the anti-slip layer is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0044] The anti-slip layer and anti-slip texture significantly increase the friction between the roll of cloth 5 and the tower material, making the initial fixation of the roll of cloth 5 to the tower material more secure and effectively preventing relative slippage of the material during transportation.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the abutment block 14 is further configured as a semi-circular block, the elastic pad 15 is a rubber pad, and one side of the elastic pad 15 is configured as an arc-shaped surface.

[0046] The round block 14 provides a gentler contact when the device is in position, while the rubber elastic pad 15 with its curved surface not only provides good cushioning but also better adapts to the shape of the tower material, improving the fit and protection of the clamp.

[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the insertion rods 11 are evenly inclined and arranged at the bottom ends of the C-shaped plates 10 on the side close to each other, and the insertion rods 11 at the bottom of the two sets of C-shaped plates 10 are staggered.

[0048] The inclined and staggered insertion rods 11 provide a tighter cross-interlocking and wider protection range when forming a bottom protection for the tower material, effectively preventing the tower material from falling off from the bottom and further improving the safety of transportation.

[0049] Example 3

[0050] The solutions in Embodiments 1 and 2 will be further described below with reference to their specific working methods.

[0051] Motor 3 is started, driving the roller 4 to rotate in a preset direction. This causes the fabric 5 wrapped around the outside of the roller 4 to be released at a uniform speed along the tangential direction, allowing for adjustment of the length of the fabric 5. Since the other end of the fabric 5 is fixed to the bottom of the fixing plate 1, the fabric 5 forms an adjustable closed-loop structure at the bottom of the fixing plate 1 during the extension process. After the fabric 5 extends to the preset length, the tower material to be transported is inserted into the closed-loop structure. Then, motor 3 rotates in the reverse direction, driving the roller 4 to rotate in the reverse direction, causing the fabric 5 to be rewound around the outside of the roller 4 until the fabric 5 completely adheres to and wraps around the outer wall of the tower material, completing the initial fixation of the material.

[0052] After the drone lifts the tower material to a safe low-altitude working height, motor 6 is started, driving the bidirectional lead screw 7 to rotate. The bidirectional lead screw 7 synchronously drives the two sets of sliders 8 to move to both ends. The sliders 8 respectively pull the ends of the connecting rods 13 to move synchronously, thereby driving the L-shaped rod 9 to move horizontally along the limiting port 202, causing the C-shaped plate 10 to move closer to the central tower material.

[0053] When the top of the 10-shaped plate is attached, the end of the roll of cloth 5 is tightened simultaneously. The closed-loop inner wall formed by the roll of cloth 5 is tightly attached to the surface of the tower material, and reliable positioning is achieved by using the friction of the contact surface. At the same time, the inserts 11 at the bottom of the 10-shaped plate interlock to form a bottom protection structure for the bottom of the tower material, ensuring the stability of the material during transportation.

[0054] The above description is only a further embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the scope disclosed by the present utility model, based on the technical solution and concept of the present utility model, shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
