Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) payload technology, and more specifically, it relates to a grenade launching pod for UAVs. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of drone technology, drones have been widely used in various fields such as military, rescue, and surveying. In military applications, the combat capabilities of drones have gradually attracted attention, especially in air strikes. As a high-explosive, wide-range weapon, grenades have significant advantages in specific tactical environments.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered the following problems: In the use of existing UAV grenade pods, most pods carry one or two grenades, requiring frequent grenade loading, which increases the time interval between air strikes and requires multiple round trips. Especially in rapid response and emergency missions, this increases the mission cycle of the UAV and reduces combat preparation time and mission completion efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided a grenade launching pod for UAVs in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose and effectiveness of this utility model's grenade launching pod for unmanned aerial vehicles are achieved through the following specific technical means:

[0006] A grenade launching pod for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) includes a UAV main unit and a storage box. The storage box is installed at the bottom of the UAV main unit and has a storage compartment. A rotating cover is movably installed on one side of the storage box. A waiting compartment is located at one end of the storage compartment. A push plate is slidably installed inside the storage compartment. Several springs are installed on the push plate and connected to one side of the storage compartment. Several grenade bodies are placed inside the storage compartment. One grenade body in the storage compartment, closest to the push plate, is in contact with the push plate. Adjacent grenade bodies are in contact with each other. An exit is located at the bottom of the waiting compartment. Several foot pads are installed at the bottom corners of the storage box. Several flight wings are installed on the UAV main unit.

[0007] Furthermore, a rotating disk is rotatably installed inside the waiting compartment via a rotating shaft, and a pair of arc-shaped plates are installed on the rotating disk, with openings formed at the two adjacent corner positions of the pair of arc-shaped plates.

[0008] Furthermore, the diameter of the opening matches the outlet.

[0009] Furthermore, the spring is provided in at least three sets.

[0010] Furthermore, a servo motor is installed on one side of the storage box, and the output end of the servo motor is connected to the rotating disk via a coupling. The servo motor is also connected to the main power supply of the UAV.

[0011] Furthermore, the storage box has a pair of slots on one side of the rotating cover.

[0012] Furthermore, a pair of mounting blocks are installed at both ends of the storage box and the rotating cover, and one end of the rotating cover is rotatably connected to one mounting block of the storage box via a rotating shaft.

[0013] Furthermore, a locking bolt is installed on one end of the rotating cover mounting block, and the locking bolt is threadedly connected to a mounting block on the storage box.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The use of the waiting compartment allows for the placement of multiple grenade launchers. The grenade launchers fall from the exit position, leaving the waiting compartment empty. A spring drives a pusher plate to move the grenade launchers, with the foremost grenade launcher moving into the waiting compartment and awaiting launch. Launching multiple grenades at once can significantly reduce the time interval between air strikes, avoiding the waste of multiple round trips. Especially in rapid response and emergency missions, it can effectively reduce the mission cycle of UAVs, reduce combat preparation time, and improve mission completion efficiency.

[0016] A servo motor drives a rotating disk, which in turn rotates an arc-shaped plate. The arc-shaped plate separates the waiting compartment from the storage compartment, with the opening and exit coinciding. The grenade body falls off, facilitating the launch of multiple grenades and reducing mission cycle time.

[0017] By rotating the locking bolt to disengage it from the mounting block on the storage box, and then rotating the rotating cover, the grenade body can be installed in the storage compartment, reducing combat preparation time and improving mission completion efficiency.
