Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transport rack technology, and in particular to a transport rack for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Background Technology

[0002] Currently, long-distance transport of drones typically involves placing them in transport containers. This method requires disassembling the drone, transporting it to the destination, and then reassembling it. Drone assembly is complex, demands high technical skills from operators, and requires reassembly after each transport, making it time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in low efficiency when performing field flight missions. Therefore, to meet the needs of long-distance transport of complete drones, drone transport racks are often used. These racks support the drone by setting up pairs of parallel support rods on the frame. To ensure the overall stability of the drone during long-distance transport, the drone's arms are secured to the support rods using tape, cable ties, and ropes. However, this method increases the difficulty of loading and unloading the drone. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a drone transport rack that is easy to load and unload.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a drone transport frame, comprising... Frame; At least one set of two parallel support rods arranged on the frame, each support rod being used to support the two arms of the drone; A movable buckle is slidably disposed along the extension direction of the support rod and is used to engage with one of the arms supported on the support rod; The elastic element has one end connected to the frame and the other end connected to the movable buckle; A fixing buckle is provided on the support rod for engaging with another arm supported on the support rod.

[0005] Furthermore, the support rod is provided with a limiting groove, and the movable buckle can be slidably installed in the limiting groove.

[0006] Furthermore, the fixing buckle is detachably installed on the support rod.

[0007] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the support rod is rectangular.

[0008] Furthermore, the support rod is detachably mounted on the frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the movable buckle includes a buckle body and a buckle base that are detachably connected. The buckle body is used to engage the machine arm, and a sliding through hole is formed between the buckle base and the buckle body. The support rod passes through the sliding through hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the frame is provided with a crossbeam, and the crossbeam is provided with multiple sets of support rods arranged in parallel pairs.

[0011] Furthermore, the two adjacent sets of support rods on the crossbeam are staggered.

[0012] Furthermore, the number of the crossbeams is multiple.

[0013] Furthermore, the support rod is provided with a protective sleeve, which abuts against the machine arm.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The drone transport frame provided by this utility model achieves quick snap-fit ​​and fixation of the drone arm through the cooperation of movable buckles and fixed buckles.

[0017] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0018] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A drone transport frame includes a frame body 1, a movable buckle 3, an elastic element 5, a fixed buckle 4, and at least one set of support rods 2 arranged in pairs parallel to each other on the frame body 1. Each support rod 2 is used to support two arms of the drone. The movable buckle 3 is slidably arranged along the extension direction of the support rod 2 and is used to engage with one of the arms supported on the support rod 2. One end of the elastic element 5 is connected to the frame body 1, and the other end is connected to the movable buckle 3. The fixed buckle 4 is provided on the support rod 2 and is used to engage with the other arm supported on the support rod 2.

[0019] The working principle of the drone transport frame is as follows: the two pairs of drone arms are placed on the parallel support rods 2, with one pair of arms against the fixed buckle 4; the elastic element 5 pulls the movable buckle 3 along the extension direction of the support rod 2 towards the end of the fixed buckle 4; the operator pushes the movable buckle 3 to let the other pair of arms into place and then releases the operator, the elastic element 5 rebounds and drives the movable buckle 3 to slide in the opposite direction and engage with the arm; the entire drone is locked without tools by the closure of the movable buckle 3 and the fixed buckle 4 and the continuous pulling force of the elastic element 5; pushing the movable buckle 3 in the opposite direction can compress the elastic element 5 and disengage it from the arm, completing the unlocking and unloading.

[0020] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by replacing the binding with tape and cable ties by using the elastic snap-fit ​​of movable buckle 3 and fixed buckle 4, the entire drone can be fixed on the transport rack without disassembly. After arriving at the site, the buckles can be released directly to take off, eliminating the time and technical barriers caused by repeated disassembly and bundling, and solving the problems of low loading and unloading efficiency and complicated operation in long-distance transportation.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 Furthermore, the support rod 2 is provided with a limiting groove 21, and the movable buckle 3 can be slidably installed in the limiting groove 21.

[0022] As described above, the limiting groove 21 constrains the sliding direction of the movable buckle 3, preventing the movable buckle 3 from shifting during transportation and improving the stability and reliability of the locking position.

[0023] Furthermore, the fixing buckle 4 is detachably installed on the support rod 2.

[0024] As described above, the fixing buckle 4 can be replaced individually, allowing the transport frame to be adapted to different sizes of machine arms, reducing the need for overall replacement and lowering maintenance costs.

[0025] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the support rod 2 is rectangular.

[0026] As can be seen from the above description, the rectangular cross-section support rod 2 has a simple manufacturing process, can provide a reference surface for processing, and the plane can contact to prevent the buckle from rotating and maintain a consistent snapping posture.

[0027] Furthermore, the support rod 2 is detachably installed on the frame 1.

[0028] As described above, the support rod 2 can be separated from the frame 1, which makes it easy to disassemble the transport frame into flat components, reduce the volume of return storage and transportation, and support the replacement of rods of different lengths on site to adapt to various wheelbases.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 5 Furthermore, the movable buckle 3 includes a buckle body 31 and a buckle base 32 that are detachably connected. The buckle body 31 is used to engage the machine arm. A sliding through hole 33 is formed between the buckle base 32 and the buckle body 31. The support rod 2 passes through the sliding through hole 33.

[0030] As described above, the split movable buckle 3 can be installed after the support rod 2 is assembled, so that the support rod 2 and the movable buckle 3 can be packaged separately. Moreover, only the buckle body 31 needs to be replaced to match the new machine arm, reducing the number of spare parts.

[0031] Furthermore, the frame 1 is provided with a crossbeam 11, and the crossbeam 11 is provided with multiple sets of support rods 2 arranged in parallel pairs.

[0032] As described above, multiple sets of support rods 2 are arranged on the crossbeam 11 to form a single-layer multi-position system, which increases the single transport capacity and reduces the transport cost of the unit drone.

[0033] Furthermore, the two adjacent sets of support rods 2 on the crossbeam 11 are staggered.

[0034] As described above, the staggered arrangement of adjacent support rods 2 avoids interference between adjacent drone propellers or fuselages, allows for a more compact lateral spacing, and improves space utilization.

[0035] Furthermore, there are multiple crossbeams 11.

[0036] As described above, the multi-layer beam 11 structure is extended into a three-dimensional loading system, further increasing the transport capacity of a single UAV transport rack, and improving overall rigidity through frame-like distribution, thereby reducing transport deformation.

[0037] Furthermore, the support rod 2 is provided with a protective sleeve, which abuts against the machine arm.

[0038] As described above, the protective sleeve forms an elastic buffer between the arm and the support rod 2, reducing surface wear caused by vibration and keeping the contact surface clean, making it suitable for repeated use.

[0039] The first embodiment of this utility model is: a drone transport rack, which is used in scenarios where drones need to be transferred over long distances, allocated for field operations, or stored in warehouses. It is especially suitable for application environments with multiple intensive transports, rapid deployment in the field, frequent changes in work locations, and lack of professional assembly conditions. It can replace the original disassembly and packing or tape binding methods, and realize direct loading, rapid loading and unloading, and repeated turnover of the whole drone.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drone transport frame includes a frame body 1, movable buckles 3, elastic elements 5, fixed buckles 4, and at least one set of support rods 2 arranged in pairs parallel to each other on the frame body 1. Each support rod 2 is used to support two arms of the drone. The movable buckles 3 are slidably arranged along the extension direction of the support rods 2 and are used to engage with one of the arms supported on the support rods 2. One end of the elastic element 5 is connected to the frame body 1, and the other end is connected to the movable buckle 3. The fixed buckles 4 are located on the support rods 2 and are used to engage with the other arm supported on the support rods 2. The elastic element 5 can be a compression spring, a compression push rod, or a compression sheet, which can be set according to the actual application requirements.

[0041] It should be noted that the drone generally consists of four arms, each with a propeller at its end driven independently by a motor. In actual operation, the two pairs of arms of the drone are placed on the parallel support rods 2, with one pair of arms against the fixed buckle 4. The elastic element 5 pulls the movable buckle 3 along the extension direction of the support rod 2 towards the end of the fixed buckle 4. The operator pushes the movable buckle 3 to allow the other pair of arms to take place and then releases the handle. The elastic element 5 rebounds, driving the movable buckle 3 to slide in the opposite direction and engage with the arm. The tool-free locking of the entire drone is achieved by the closure of the movable buckle 3 and the fixed buckle 4, as well as the continuous tension of the elastic element 5. Pushing the movable buckle 3 in the opposite direction compresses the elastic element 5 and disengages it from the arm, completing the unlocking and unloading process.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The support rod 2 is provided with a limiting groove 21, and the movable buckle 3 can be slidably installed in the limiting groove 21. It can be understood that the limiting groove 21 restricts the sliding direction of the movable buckle 3, prevents the movable buckle 3 from shifting during transportation, and improves the stability and reliability of the snap-fit ​​position. Specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the support rod 2 is rectangular, so that a reference surface for processing can be provided on the support rod 2. The reference surface facilitates the forming of the limiting groove 21, and the plane can contact to prevent the buckle from rotating and maintain a consistent snap-fit ​​posture.

[0043] Optionally, the fixing buckle 4 can be detachably installed on the support rod 2, thereby allowing the transport frame to adapt to different sized arms, reducing the need for overall replacement and lowering maintenance costs. The detachable connection method includes, but is not limited to, at least one of bolt connection, buckle connection, screw connection, or pin connection.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the support rod 2 is fixed to the frame 1 by welding; in other embodiments, the support rod 2 can also be detachably installed on the frame 1, so that the support rod 2 can be separated from the frame 1, which facilitates the disassembly of the transport frame into flat components, reduces the return storage and transportation volume, and supports on-site replacement of rods of different lengths to adapt to various wheelbases; the detachable connection method includes, but is not limited to, at least one of bolt connection, snap-fit ​​connection, screw connection or pin connection.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 5 The movable buckle 3 includes a detachably connected buckle body 31 and a buckle base 32. The buckle body 31 is used to snap onto the machine arm. A sliding through hole 33 is formed between the buckle base 32 and the buckle body 31. The support rod 2 passes through the sliding through hole 33. It can be understood that the split movable buckle 3 can be installed after the support rod 2 is assembled, so that the support rod 2 and the movable buckle 3 can be packaged separately. Moreover, only the buckle body 31 needs to be replaced to match the new machine arm, reducing the number of spare parts.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 The frame 1 is equipped with a crossbeam 11, on which multiple sets of parallel support rods 2 are arranged. The arrangement of multiple sets of support rods 2 on the crossbeam 11 forms a single-layer, multi-position structure, increasing the single-transport capacity and reducing the transportation cost per unit of drone. Specifically, adjacent sets of support rods 2 on the crossbeam 11 are staggered; that is, one set of support rods 2 is arranged in parallel pairs at the top of the crossbeam 11, and correspondingly, the adjacent set of support rods 2 is arranged in parallel pairs at the bottom of the crossbeam 11. This avoids interference between adjacent drone propellers or fuselages, allows for a more compact lateral spacing, and improves space utilization. More specifically, there are multiple crossbeams 11, and the multi-layer crossbeam 11 structure expands into a three-dimensional loading system, further increasing the transport capacity of a single drone transport frame. The frame-like distribution also improves overall rigidity and reduces transport deformation.

[0047] Optionally, in some other embodiments, the support rod 2 is further provided with a protective sleeve (not shown). The protective sleeve abuts against the machine arm, forming an elastic buffer between the machine arm and the support rod 2 to reduce surface wear caused by vibration, keep the contact surface clean, and adapt to repeated use. The protective sleeve can be made of rubber or other materials with elastic physical properties.

[0048] In summary, the drone transport frame provided by this utility model achieves quick and easy connection and fixation of the drone arm through the cooperation of movable and fixed buckles. The loading and unloading process does not require disassembling the drone or using auxiliary tools such as tape or cable ties. The operation is simple and quick, which significantly improves the loading and unloading efficiency of long-distance drone transportation and reduces the difficulty of operation and labor costs.

[0049] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent modifications made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
