[0017] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will further illustrate this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0018] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Several embodiments of this utility model are shown in the drawings. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this utility model will be more thorough and complete.

[0019] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly on the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0021] To address the problem of cumbersome and inconvenient operation when switching between spraying and spreading modes on multi-functional agricultural drones, which require replacing large water tanks and feed tanks, this invention provides an agricultural drone module. The module includes support legs fixedly connected to a central frame, with a crossbeam fixedly installed between the legs. A storage tank is positioned below the central frame and within the space enclosed by the support legs, and is fixedly connected to the crossbeam. The bottom of the storage tank includes an output port, a spreader mounting structure, and a water pump mounting structure. The storage tank can be reused as both a water tank and a spreader feed tank. When switching between spraying and spreading modes, only the spreader and water pump need to be disassembled and reassembled; the storage tank does not need to be replaced. This simplifies operation and effectively reduces the implementation cost of multi-functional agricultural drones.

[0022] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the agricultural drone module of this embodiment includes support legs 20, which are fixedly connected to the central frame 10. The central frame 10 is used to install batteries, control systems, etc. A crossbeam 21 is fixedly arranged between the support legs 20. The storage box 30 is located below the central frame 10 and positioned within the space surrounded by the support legs 20. It is fixedly connected to the crossbeam 21, which can ensure the fixing effect of the storage box 30. The top and bottom of the storage box 30 are limited and fixed by the crossbeam 21, resulting in high fixing stability.

[0023] The support legs 20 extend outwards in a vertically downward direction, and three-way connectors 23 are fitted onto them. Both ends of the crossbeam 21 are fitted into the three-way connectors 23 and can be secured by pins, screws, etc. In the event of accidental damage to the storage box 30, the pins, screws, and other securing components on the three-way connectors 23 can be released, and the three-way connectors 23 can be moved downwards along the support legs 20. This increases the spacing between the three-way connectors 23, allowing the crossbeam 21 to be removed. This design allows for the disassembly and storage of the storage box 30 when the drone is not in use, as well as for disassembly, repair, and replacement in the event of accidental damage to the storage box 30.

[0024] To facilitate the fixing of the storage box 30, in this embodiment, the storage box 30 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam 21 by a clamp 22. Screw holes are provided at corresponding positions of the storage box 30 so that the clamp 22 can be screwed and fixed to the storage box 30.

[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom of the storage tank 30 is provided with an output port 31, a spreader mounting structure, and a water pump mounting structure 32. The output port 31 is reused as the spreader mounting structure 31. The output port is provided with a water cover 311, which has a water outlet hole for connecting a water pipe to the water pump 42. When the water cover 311 is removed, the output port 31 is used as the spreader mounting structure. The protruding side wall of the output port 31 is provided with a mounting hole, through which the spreader 41 can be connected with a pin, bolt, etc., to ensure the connection and fixation effect of the spreader 41.

[0026] To facilitate weight distribution design, in this embodiment, the water pump mounting structure 32 is located on the side of the spreader mounting structure. In this embodiment, the output port 31 and the spreader mounting structure are located at the bottom center of the storage tank 30. There are two sets of water pump mounting structures 32, which are arranged symmetrically.

[0027] Specifically, the water pump mounting structure 32 consists of multiple screw holes located at the bottom of the storage tank 30.

[0028] To facilitate the emptying of materials and water from the storage tank 30, the bottom of the storage tank 30 is tilted so that the materials and water are collected by the output port 31. Correspondingly, the top is provided with an inlet port 301.

[0029] In this embodiment, the size of the storage box 30 is larger than the size of the space enclosed by the support leg 20, which can increase the storage capacity. Correspondingly, a clearance groove 302 is provided on the side of the storage box 30. The clearance groove 302 corresponds to the support leg 20. The interaction between the clearance groove 302 and the support leg 20 can also limit the storage box 30, thereby improving the fixed stability of the storage box 30.

[0030] The storage box 30 has protruding ends along its length, and the feed port 301 is located on these protruding ends for easy feeding. Figure 6 As shown, the feed port 301 is positioned away from the vertical orientation of the arm 70.

[0031] The center frame 10 is used for battery installation positioning, specifically, as follows: Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the central frame 10 is a polygonal frame structure, and the middle of the frame defines the battery positioning space. A limiting block 12 is provided at the top of the polygonal frame, and the limiting block 12 engages and matches with the positioning groove on the outer wall of the battery 50.

[0032] The positioning groove on the outer wall of the battery 50 is a straight groove with an open bottom, which facilitates engagement and positioning with the limiting block 12 and guides the installation direction of the battery 50.

[0033] A cable protection cover 101 is also fixed on the inner wall of the central frame 10 for the placement of communication and power cables. An arm connector 11 is also fixed on the central frame 10. Part of the arm connector 11 is hollowed out for weight reduction and cable arrangement.

[0034] In this embodiment, the central frame 10 is rectangular, and the arm connectors 11 are located at the four corners of the central frame 10. The four corners have high structural strength, which helps to ensure the reliability of the connection between the arm connectors 11 and the arm 70. Corresponding to the rectangle, the length direction of the storage box 30 is consistent with the length direction of the central frame 10. The length direction of the storage box 30 can also be consistent with the width direction of the central frame 10, which facilitates balanced mass distribution.

[0035] This utility model also provides an agricultural drone, including the above-mentioned agricultural drone module. The storage box can be reused as a water tank and a spreading box. It can be equipped with a water pump 42 or a spreader 41 as needed.

[0036] To increase the spraying area, in this embodiment, the water pump 42 is provided with two sets, and the corresponding two nozzles 43 are set at the ends of different arms 70, which can increase the spraying area. Since the nozzles 43 are located below the blades, the downward airflow provided by the blades 43 can ensure that the sprayed liquid can be effectively sprayed onto the crops below, thus ensuring the spraying effect.

[0037] The extension direction of the arm 70 is parallel to the diagonal of the central frame 10, which facilitates the distribution and setting of the four arms 70.

[0038] A housing 100 is also fixedly installed outside the central frame 10 to protect the internal main controller, battery, wiring, etc. In this embodiment, an auxiliary component 60 is also provided. The auxiliary component 60 is fixedly connected to the central frame 10 or the housing 100. The auxiliary component 60 may include a front obstacle avoidance radar, a ground-following radar, a camera, etc.

[0039] The agricultural drone module, agricultural drone, and storage box provided by this utility model have an output port, a spreader mounting structure, and a water pump mounting structure at the bottom of the storage box. The storage box can be reused as a water tank and a spreader box. When switching between spraying mode and spreading mode, only the spreader and water pump need to be disassembled and assembled, without replacing the storage box. The operation is convenient and can effectively reduce the implementation cost of multi-functional agricultural drones and reduce agricultural production costs.
