Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone tripod technology, and in particular to a drone tripod that is easy to deploy and retract. Background Technology

[0002] A drone tripod is a support structure installed on the bottom of a drone. It is mainly used to provide stable support during takeoff, landing, and parking, protecting the fuselage and equipment from damage. An easy-to-deploy drone tripod is a flexible support structure that can be deployed to provide support during takeoff and landing and retracted during flight to reduce wind resistance and improve flight efficiency. Through its foldable and telescopic design, combined with automatic control and lightweight materials, the easy-to-deploy drone tripod ensures the stability of the drone during takeoff and landing and reduces wind resistance during flight, significantly improving the overall performance and applicability of the drone.

[0003] However, existing drone tripod deployment and retrieval devices are mostly limited by their fixed dimensions, making deployment and retrieval cumbersome and inconvenient, while also taking up considerable space. Since drones fly at low altitudes, the tripods are prone to colliding with other objects, potentially causing damage to the drone. Therefore, we provide a drone tripod that is easy to deploy and retrieval. Utility Model Content

[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0025] This invention uses a first and a second movable support rod to drive a support plate and a rubber pad downwards to contact the ground. The rubber pad prevents the support plate from directly contacting the ground and causing wear. When the drone lands, the impact force is transmitted through the support plate to the first and second movable support rods. The bottom ends of the first and second movable support rods respectively drive the third and fourth slides to move to both sides. The third and fourth slides press the corresponding second limit springs to reset and reduce the impact force, thus preventing the drone from malfunctioning due to the impact.

[0032] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0033] Reference Figure 1-4 A drone tripod for easy deployment and retrieval includes a drone body 1, a support base 2 at the bottom of the drone body 1, a drive component at the bottom of the support base 2, and two sets of support components symmetrically arranged on both sides of the drive component.

[0034] Reference Figure 3-4 The drive assembly includes a hydraulic cylinder 5, and a mounting groove 3 is provided in the middle of the bottom of the support base 2, with the hydraulic cylinder 5 located inside the mounting groove 3.

[0035] One end of the hydraulic cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the support base 2, and the end of the hydraulic cylinder 5 away from the support base 2 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 4. The two ends of the connecting plate 4 are respectively movably connected to two sets of support components.

[0036] A first limiting spring 6 is sleeved on the outside of the hydraulic cylinder 5, and the two ends of the first limiting spring 6 are fixedly connected to the support base 2 and the connecting plate 4 respectively.

[0037] The support assembly includes a first movable support rod 10, a second movable support rod 11, a first fixed slide rod 9, a second fixed slide rod 18, a support plate 14, and a rubber pad 15.

[0038] In this invention, the support base 2 provides support for the drone body 1. Two sets of support components symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the support base 2 provide support for the support base 2 and the drone body 1. When the drone is exposed to wind, the hydraulic cylinder 5 pushes the connecting plate 4 to move. As the connecting plate 4 moves and stretches the first limit spring 6, it can drive the support components on both sides to open downward, causing the support plate 14 and the rubber pad 15 to contact the ground for support. The hydraulic cylinder 5 can drive the support components on both sides to retract through the connecting plate 4, thereby reducing the volume of the drone body 1 and the space occupied by the drone body 1, making it easier to store the drone body 1.

[0039] Reference Figure 1-2 The bottom of the support base 2 is symmetrically provided with two first sliding grooves 8 corresponding to the top of the two sets of support components. The first sliding groove 8 is provided with a first fixed sliding rod 9. Both ends of the first fixed sliding rod 9 are fixedly connected to the support base 2.

[0040] The first fixed slide rod 9 has a first slide block 12 and a second slide block 13 respectively fitted on both outer ends. The first slide block 12 and the second slide block 13 are slidably connected to the first slide groove 8. The top ends of the first slide block 12 and the second slide block 13 are movably connected to the first movable support rod 10 and the second movable support rod 11 respectively.

[0041] The first movable support rod 10 and the second movable support rod 11 are connected by a movable pin in the middle. The bottom ends of the first movable support rod 10 and the second movable support rod 11 are provided with support plates 14, and the bottom ends of the support plates 14 are glued with rubber pads 15.

[0042] A second sliding groove 7 is provided on the top of the support plate 14 at the position corresponding to the bottom of the first movable support rod 10 and the second movable support rod 11. A second fixed sliding rod 18 is provided inside the second sliding groove 7, and both ends of the second fixed sliding rod 18 are fixedly connected to the support plate 14.

[0043] The outer sides of the two ends of the second fixed slide rod 18 are respectively fitted with a third slide block 16 and a fourth slide block 17. The tops of the third slide block 16 and the fourth slide block 17 are respectively movably connected to the tops of the first movable support rod 10 and the second movable support rod 11. The outer sides of the two ends of the second fixed slide rod 18 are respectively fitted with two second limiting springs 19. The two ends of the two second limiting springs 19 are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding third slide block 16, fourth slide block 17 and support plate 14.

[0044] In this utility model, the hydraulic cylinder 5 pushes the connecting plate 4 to move, and the connecting plate 4 drives the middle parts of the first movable support rod 10 and the second movable support rod 11 on both sides to move downward. The first movable support rod 10 and the second movable support rod 11 rotate around the point of movable connection with the connecting plate 4. The top ends of the first movable support rod 10 and the second movable support rod 11 respectively drive the first slide block 12 and the second slide block 13 to move inward through the first fixed slide rod 9. The bottom ends of the first movable support rod 10 and the second movable support rod 11 respectively drive the third slide block 16 and the fourth slide block 17 to move inward through the support of the second fixed slide rod 18 and the guide of the second slide groove 7. The third slide block 16 and the fourth slide block 17 move inward through the support of the second fixed slide rod 18 and the guide of the second slide groove 7. The four sliding blocks 17 move inward and stretch the corresponding second limiting springs 19 on both sides. The first movable support rod 10 and the second movable support rod 11 drive the support plate 14 and the rubber pad 15 to contact the ground downward. When the UAV body 1 lands, the impact force is transmitted to the first movable support rod 10 and the second movable support rod 11 through the support plate 14. The bottom ends of the first movable support rod 10 and the second movable support rod 11 drive the third sliding block 16 and the fourth sliding block 17 to move to both sides. The third sliding block 16 and the fourth sliding block 17 press the corresponding second limiting springs 19 to reset and reduce the impact force, thus avoiding the malfunction caused by the impact force on the UAV body 1.
