Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone indicator lights, specifically a structure for quick-change indicator lights for drones. Background Technology
[0002] The electronic speed controller (ESC) is one of the core components of the UAV power system. It is mainly used to receive instructions from the flight control system, precisely adjust the motor speed, and thus control the flight attitude of the UAV. It is a key bridge for signal transmission and power regulation between the flight control system and the power motor, providing power regulation guarantee for the stable and flexible flight of the UAV.
[0003] In most drones on the market today, the indicator light covers of the electronic speed controller are usually directly mounted on the outer shell of the electronic speed controller. These indicator lights play an important role, which can intuitively display the working status of the electronic speed controller, such as power on / off, whether the equipment is running normally, and whether there are fault alarms. This allows operators to keep track of the operation of the electronic speed controller in real time and detect potential problems in a timely manner.
[0004] However, due to the limited space available inside the electronic speed controller, the indicator lights are often small and their brightness is limited, making it difficult to clearly display the status at a distance or in complex lighting conditions. Furthermore, when an indicator light is damaged and needs to be replaced, the entire electronic speed controller usually needs to be disassembled, which is a cumbersome process and not conducive to quick repairs. Therefore, a new type of drone indicator light structure is needed to solve the problems of insufficient indicator light brightness and inconvenient replacement caused by the structural design.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the wire passes through the carbon tube, and one end of the wire with the male connector is disposed at the inner wall end of the carbon tube.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a bottom shell is provided at the bottom of the speed regulator, a pressure plate is installed inside the bottom shell, and the wire passes through the pressure plate and is soldered to the circuit board.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the pressure plate has a through hole, and a waterproof sleeve is provided inside the through hole of the pressure plate, and the waterproof sleeve is fitted onto the outer wall of the wire.
[0013] Preferably, the waterproof sleeve seals the gap between the through hole on the pressure plate and the wire, thereby preventing rainwater from entering the speed controller through the through hole on the pressure plate.
[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the lamp board is fixedly installed inside the lamp cover by means of potting adhesive to form a waterproof indicator module.
[0015] The present invention is further provided that a fixing bolt is installed on the outer wall of the lampshade, and a rubber gasket is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixing bolt.
[0016] The present invention is further configured such that a motor clamp is fitted at the end of the carbon tube, and a fixing bolt hole matching the fixing cover is provided on one side of the outer wall of the motor clamp.
