Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0038] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this utility model, the directions shown in the accompanying drawings shall prevail, such as front and back. Figure 1 For the sake of accuracy, the specific details should be as follows: Figure 2 The bottom is the base, the top is the top, the right is the front, and the left is the rear.

[0039] Example

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1 to 12 This utility model provides an adjustable drone landing gear, including a landing gear platform 100, two sets of front support legs 200, two sets of front support claws 300, two sets of rear support legs 400, and a binding assembly 500. The top surface of the landing gear platform 100 forms a receiving platform 110 to support the drone body. The two sides of the binding assembly 500 are respectively connected to the two sides of the landing gear platform 100 for binding the drone body to the receiving platform 110. The first end of the front support leg 200 is movably connected to the landing gear platform 100, and the front support leg 200 can extend outward or retract inward to be close to the landing gear platform 100. The root of the rear support leg 400 is movably connected to the landing gear platform 100, and the rear support leg 400 can extend outward or retract inward to be close to the landing gear platform 100. The end of the rear support leg 400 is used to support the drone landing platform. The second end of the front outrigger 200 is movably connected to the root of the front claw 300, allowing the front claw 300 to extend outward or retract inward into the front outrigger 200. When the front claw 300 extends from the front outrigger 200, its tip supports the drone's landing platform, maximizing the drone's takeoff angle. When the front claw 300 retracts into the front outrigger 200, its second end supports the drone's landing platform, decreasing the takeoff angle. In the retracted state, the front claw 300 retracts inward into the front outrigger 200, with both the front outrigger 200 and the rear outrigger 400 close to the tripod platform 100, reducing the storage volume.

[0041] This utility model provides an adjustable drone lifter, which allows for flexible adjustment of the drone's takeoff height by setting a front claw 300 that is movably connected to the front support leg 200; and in the folded state, by retracting the front claw 300 inward into the front support leg 200, and retracting the front support leg 200 and the rear support leg 400 close to the footrest platform 100, the folded volume can be reduced.

[0042] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 11The tripod platform 100 is equipped with a front outrigger mounting base 120, which is hinged to the first end of the front outrigger 200, so that when the two front outriggers 200 are extended, they face the left front and right front respectively. The tripod platform 100 is equipped with a rear outrigger mounting base 130, which is hinged to the base of the rear outrigger 400, so that when the two rear outriggers 400 are extended, they face the left rear and right rear respectively. In the supported state, by setting the front outriggers 200 and rear outriggers 400 to spread out in four directions, the stability of the support can be improved.

[0043] In some embodiments, the front outrigger mounting base 120 is provided with first hinge seats 121 on both sides, and the front outrigger 200 is provided with first hinges 210 on both sides of the first end. The first hinge seats 121 and the first hinges 210 can be movably connected by pins, so that the first end of the front outrigger 200 is hinged to the front outrigger mounting base 120.

[0044] In some embodiments, the rear outrigger mounting base 130 is provided with second hinge seats 131 on both sides, and the root of the rear outrigger 400 is provided with a second hinge 410. The second hinge seats 131 and the second hinge 410 can be movably connected by pins, so that the root of the rear outrigger 400 is hinged to the rear outrigger mounting base 130.

[0045] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3 , Figures 8 to 11 The front outrigger 200, front claw 300, and rear outrigger 400 all have an inward curve, similar in shape to spider legs, which allows the adjustable drone lifter to withstand stronger impacts when the drone lands.

[0046] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3 , Figures 5 to 9 The top of the front outrigger mounting base 120 is provided with a first latch 122. In some embodiments, the first latch 122 is integrally formed with the front outrigger mounting base 120, and the first latch 122 has a certain degree of elasticity. The inner end of the first latch 122 is provided with a first boss 1221, and the top of the first end of the front outrigger 200 is provided with a first positioning groove 220. When the front outrigger 200 extends outward to its farthest position, after the first latch 122 undergoes elastic deformation, the first boss 1221 engages with the first positioning groove 220, fixing the farthest position of the front outrigger 200. Especially when the UAV lands, this keeps the angle between the front outrigger 200 and the tripod platform 100 fixed under a certain impact force.

[0047] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 7 , Figure 11The top of the rear outrigger mounting base 130 is provided with a second latch 132. In some embodiments, the second latch 132 is integrally formed with the rear outrigger mounting base 130, and the second latch 132 has a certain degree of elasticity. The end of the second latch 132 is provided with a second boss 1321, and the top of the root of the rear outrigger 400 is provided with a second positioning groove 420. When the rear outrigger 400 extends outward to its farthest position, the second latch 132 undergoes elastic deformation, and the second boss 1321 engages with the second positioning groove 420, fixing the farthest position of the rear outrigger 400. Especially when the drone lands, this keeps the angle between the rear outrigger 400 and the landing gear platform 100 fixed under a certain impact force.

[0048] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3 , Figures 5 to 9 The first end face of the front support leg 200 is provided with a first arc-shaped track 230. When the front support leg 200 retracts inward, the first protrusion 1221 moves within the first arc-shaped track 230. Due to the elasticity of the first latch 122, the first protrusion 1221 is pressed into the first arc-shaped track 230 with a certain pressing force. Utilizing the friction between the first protrusion 1221 and the first arc-shaped track 230, the angle formed between the front support leg 200 and the tripod platform 100 can be fixed within a certain load-bearing range, thereby allowing adjustment of the drone's takeoff angle. The end of the first arc-shaped track 230 is provided with a first positioning protrusion 240. When the front support leg 200 retracts inward to the position closest to the tripod platform 100, the first positioning protrusion 240 engages with the first protrusion 1221, making it difficult for the front support leg 200 to slip out when the adjustable drone heightening tripod is in the retracted state.

[0049] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 2 , Figures 4 to 7 , Figure 11 The rear outrigger 400 has a second arc-shaped track 430 at its root end. When the rear outrigger 400 retracts inward, the second protrusion 1321 moves within the second arc-shaped track 430. Due to the elasticity of the second latch 132, the second protrusion 1321 presses against the second arc-shaped track 430 with a certain pressing force. Utilizing the friction between the second protrusion 1321 and the second arc-shaped track 430, the angle formed between the rear outrigger 400 and the tripod platform 100 can be fixed within a certain load-bearing range, thereby allowing adjustment of the drone's takeoff angle. The end of the second arc-shaped track 430 has a second positioning protrusion 440. When the rear outrigger 400 retracts inward to the position closest to the tripod platform 100, the second positioning protrusion 440 engages with the second protrusion 1321, making it difficult for the rear outrigger 400 to slip out when the adjustable drone tripod is in the retracted state.

[0050] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3 , Figures 8 to 10The second end of the front outrigger 200 is hinged to the root of the front outrigger 300. In some embodiments, the second end of the front outrigger 200 is provided with a third hinge seat 250 on both sides, and the root of the front outrigger 300 is provided with a third hinge 310. The third hinge seat 250 and the third hinge 310 can be movably connected by a pin, so that the second end of the front outrigger 200 is hinged to the root of the front outrigger 300.

[0051] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3 , Figures 8 to 10 The second end of the front outrigger 200 is provided with a third latch 260. In some embodiments, the third latch 260 is integrally formed with the front outrigger 200 and has a certain degree of elasticity. The end of the third latch 260 is provided with a third boss 261, and the top of the front outrigger 300 is provided with a third positioning groove 320. When the front outrigger 300 extends outward to its farthest position, the third boss 261 engages with the third positioning groove 320, fixing the farthest position of the extended front outrigger 300. Especially during the landing of the UAV, this keeps the angle between the front outrigger 300 and the front outrigger 200 fixed under a certain impact force.

[0052] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3 , Figures 8 to 10 The end face of the root of the front claw 300 is provided with a third arc-shaped track 330. When the front claw 300 retracts inward, the third protrusion 261 moves within the third arc-shaped track 330. Since the third latch 260 has a certain elasticity, the third protrusion 261 is pressed into the third arc-shaped track 330 with a certain pressing force. By utilizing the friction between the third protrusion 261 and the third arc-shaped track 330, the angle formed between the front claw 300 and the front leg 200 can be fixed within a certain load-bearing range, thereby adjusting the takeoff angle of the UAV.

[0053] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3 , Figures 8 to 10 The inner surface of the front support leg 200 is provided with a receiving groove 270, and the front support claw 300 can be retracted into the receiving groove 270, reducing the volume in the stored state. The receiving groove 270 is provided with recesses 271 on both sides, and the front support claw 300 is provided with handles 340 on both sides. When the front support claw 300 is retracted into the receiving groove 270, the handles 340 are recessed into the recesses 271, so that the front support claw 300 can be pulled out from the receiving groove 270 by holding the handles 340.

[0054] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 2 , Figure 12One side of the tripod platform 100 has a boss mounting through hole 140, and the side wall of the boss mounting through hole 140 has a T-shaped boss 141. The corresponding side of the binding component 500 has a boss hole 510. The head of the T-shaped boss 141 can be installed in the boss hole 510, so that one side of the binding component 500 is movably connected to the tripod platform 100 and is not easy to fall off. The other side of the tripod platform 100 has a hook 150, and the corresponding side of the binding component 500 has a hook hole 520. The hook 150 can be installed in the hook hole 520, which makes it convenient for users to bind or unbind the drone to the receiving platform 110.

[0055] In some embodiments, the binding component 500 is an integrally formed silicone material with a certain degree of elasticity.

[0056] In some embodiments, the main body of the attachment component 500 has a central seam, which makes the attachment component 500 fit more closely to the outer periphery of the drone when attaching the drone to the receiving platform 110, and makes it less likely to slip off.

[0057] In some embodiments, the receiving platform 110 has a certain curvature, which can cover the abdomen of the drone.

[0058] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 2 , Figure 6 The tripod platform 100 has a shim 160 on top of its receiving platform 110. The shim 160 may be made of silicone and is used to prevent the drone from sliding on the adjustable drone lift tripod. In some embodiments, the tripod platform 100 has a shim groove 161 on top of its receiving platform 110 for mounting the shim 160.

[0059] In some embodiments, the accommodating surface 110 of the tripod platform 100 is provided with a through hole 170. After the drone is installed, the through hole 170 is located at the camera or sensor on the bottom of the drone, and the drone can take pictures or sense through the through hole 170.

[0060] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to this utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model.
