Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic fences, and more particularly to electronic fence brackets with folding support structures. Background Technology

[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) electronic fence systems are used to establish no-fly / restricted-fly boundaries within specific areas. Typical scenarios include event security, airport and energy facility perimeters, temporary event airspace, and urban low-altitude order maintenance. The system typically consists of a main unit housing and a ground support or mounting structure.

[0003] In existing technologies, ground supports are mostly rigid upright brackets or non-foldable square tubular legs fixedly connected to the container, or general-purpose tripods or masts that are separate from the container. These structures often suffer from problems during transportation and storage, such as protruding support components taking up space or requiring separate packing. The unfolding angle and storage position rely on manual adjustment, leading to insufficient mobility and poor deployment consistency. Furthermore, the lack of clear structural limits, end-positioning, and locking mechanisms makes them prone to loosening and displacement under wind loads and vibrations, compromising stability and reliability.

[0004] Therefore, an electronic fence bracket with an integrated folding support structure that is integrated with the box body and has limiting and locking functions is needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, it is necessary to provide an electronic fence bracket with a folding support structure to solve the above problems.

The support frame includes at least two support legs provided on opposite sides of the base. Each support leg is rotatably connected to the base via a pivot. The fixing structure includes: A limiting part is disposed adjacent to the supporting leg, and the supporting leg abuts against the limiting part when it rotates and unfolds in the first direction; The storage section is disposed opposite to the support leg. When the support leg rotates in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the support leg is disposed in the storage section.

[0007] In at least one embodiment of this application, the first direction is the direction in which the supporting leg unfolds outward; the second direction is the direction in which the supporting leg folds inward.

[0008] In at least one embodiment of this application, each of the supporting legs corresponds to a storage portion and a limiting portion, and each of the supporting legs rotates between the corresponding limiting portion and the storage portion.

[0009] In at least one embodiment of this application, the storage portion is located at the end of the base away from the limiting portion, the end of the support leg near the base is adjacent to the limiting portion, and the end of the support leg away from the base can enter the storage portion.

[0010] In at least one embodiment of this application, the limiting portion has a stop block, and the supporting leg has a stop surface on the side facing the stop block. When the supporting leg rotates in the first direction, the stop block contacts the stop surface.

[0012] In at least one embodiment of this application, the locking member is a protruding structure and the positioning member is a groove structure.

[0013] In at least one embodiment of this application, the rotation angle range A of the support leg relative to the base about the pivot axis satisfies the following relationship: 0°≤A≤120°.

[0014] In at least one embodiment of this application, each of the supporting legs further includes a foot support plate disposed at the end of the supporting leg away from the base. In at least one embodiment of this application, the support frame includes: a first support leg, a second support leg, a third support leg, and a fourth support leg; The first support leg and the second support leg are arranged adjacent to each other on one side of the base, and the third support leg and the fourth support leg are arranged adjacent to each other on the other opposite side of the base, and the first support leg, the second support leg, the third support leg and the fourth support leg are staggered along the width direction of the base.

[0015] The aforementioned electronic fence bracket with a folding support structure features symmetrical support legs connected by pivots on both sides of the base. Adjacent to the support legs are limiting portions, and opposite to them are storage portions on the base. When unfolded, the supporting legs are geometrically positioned by the limiting portions, ensuring a consistent unfolding angle. When folded, they are housed within the storage portions for a seamless, integrated storage. This reduces the space occupied by protruding parts during transportation and carrying, avoids inconsistencies and loosening risks caused by repeated manual adjustments, and improves deployment efficiency, support stability, and long-term reliability.

[0020] Embodiments of this application provide an electronic fence bracket with a folding support structure, comprising: The housing has a base; A support frame is provided on the side of the base away from the housing. The support frame includes at least two support legs provided on opposite sides of the base. Each support leg is rotatably connected to the base via a pivot. The fixing structure includes: A limiting part is disposed adjacent to the supporting leg, and the supporting leg abuts against the limiting part when it rotates and unfolds in the first direction; The storage section is disposed opposite to the support leg. When the support leg rotates in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the support leg is disposed in the storage section.

[0021] The aforementioned electronic fence bracket with a folding support structure features symmetrical support legs connected by pivots on both sides of the base. Adjacent to the support legs are limiting portions, and opposite to them are storage portions on the base. When unfolded, the supporting legs are geometrically positioned by the limiting portions, ensuring a consistent unfolding angle. When folded, they are housed within the storage portions for a seamless, integrated storage. This reduces the space occupied by protruding parts during transportation and carrying, avoids inconsistencies and loosening risks caused by repeated manual adjustments, and improves deployment efficiency, support stability, and long-term reliability.

[0022] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0023] according to Figures 1-4 This application provides an electronic fence bracket 100 with a folding support structure, including: a box 10, a support frame 20 and a fixing structure 40.

[0024] The housing 10 is provided with a base 11. A support frame 20 is provided on the side of the base 11 away from the housing 10. The support frame 20 includes at least two support legs 21 provided on opposite sides of the base 11. Each support leg 21 is rotatably connected to the base 11 via a pivot 30.

[0025] The fixing structure 40 includes a limiting part 41 and a storage part 42. The limiting part 41 is disposed adjacent to the support leg 21, and the support leg 21 abuts against the limiting part 41 when it rotates and unfolds along the first direction F1. The storage part 42 is disposed opposite to the support leg 21, and the support leg 21 is disposed within the storage part 42 when it rotates along the second direction F2, which is opposite to the first direction F1. Specifically, the housing 10 is an integrated structure for accommodating the electronic fence host, power supply, and communication radio frequency unit. A base 11 is integrally formed or fixedly connected to its bottom. The side of the base 11 facing away from the housing 10 forms a support frame 20 mounting area. The support frame 20 includes at least two support legs 21 disposed on the left and right sides of the base 11. In this embodiment, the base 11 is preferably a rectangular structure, and the support frame 20 is preferably a four-legged structure, with two pairs of support legs 21 arranged opposite each other on the sides of the base 11.

[0026] Furthermore, each support leg 21 is rotatably connected to the base 11 via a pivot 30. The pivot 30 can be a through hinge or a split hinge pin, allowing the support leg 21 to rotate flexibly, providing a basis for subsequent folding and unfolding operations.

[0027] Furthermore, the limiting part 41 is arranged adjacent to the supporting leg 21. When the supporting leg 21 rotates and unfolds along the first direction F1, it will abut against the limiting part 41. This clearly defines the limit position of the unfolded supporting leg 21, providing a clear structural limit for the supporting leg 21 and ensuring that the supporting leg 21 reaches a uniform and appropriate position each time it is unfolded. This effectively solves the problems of manual adjustment of the unfolding angle and poor deployment consistency in the prior art. The storage part 42 is arranged opposite to the supporting leg 21. When the supporting leg 21 rotates along the second direction F2, which is opposite to the first direction F1, it can be smoothly stored in the storage part 42, so that the supporting leg 21 can be completely embedded in the storage part 42. This design not only gives the supporting leg 21 a fixed position when stored, avoiding the trouble of the supporting parts protruding and occupying space or needing to be packed separately during transportation and storage, but also makes the entire electronic fence bracket 100 more compact in the stored state, making it easier to carry and store.

[0028] In one specific embodiment, the first direction F1 is the direction in which the support leg 21 unfolds outward; the second direction F2 is the direction in which the support leg 21 folds inward.

[0029] Specifically, it should be noted that the first direction F1 is the direction in which the support leg 21 unfolds outward from the outline of the box 10 relative to the base 11; the second direction F2 is the folding path opposite to the first direction F1, that is, the direction in which the support leg 21 folds inward around the pivot 30 from the unfolded position and returns to the outline of the base 11.

[0030] Furthermore, when the electronic fence bracket 100 needs to be deployed, the support leg 21 can be rotated and unfolded outward along the first direction F1. This provides clear operational guidance for operators when unfolding the support leg 21, enabling them to quickly and accurately unfold the support leg 21 to the appropriate position to form a stable and reliable support structure, providing a solid foundation for the electronic fence system.

[0031] Furthermore, when the electronic fence bracket 100 is no longer in use and needs to be stored and transported, the support leg 21 can be rotated and folded inward along the second direction F2. This allows the support leg 21 to be tightly folded together, minimizing the space occupied by the bracket in the stored state and making it convenient to carry and store. At the same time, the clear folding direction also avoids interference between the support leg 21 and other components during the folding process, ensuring a smooth folding operation.

[0032] In one specific embodiment, each of the support legs 21 corresponds to a storage part 42 and a limiting part 41, and each of the support legs 21 rotates between the corresponding limiting part 41 and the storage part 42.

[0033] Specifically, each support leg 21 has an independent movement path and a positioning locking point. Each support leg 21 rotates between its corresponding limiting part 41 and its storage part 42, so that the movement trajectory of the support leg 21 revolves around its corresponding axis of rotation 30, forming a fan-shaped area. The rotation of the support leg 21 is restricted within the fan-shaped area formed by its own storage part 42 and limiting part 41. This ensures that each support leg 21 can achieve a completely consistent angle when unfolded and obtains a firm mechanical lock through its independent limiting part 41, thereby forming a stable and symmetrical support base.

[0034] Furthermore, when folded, each support leg 21 can be precisely embedded in its corresponding storage part 42, achieving neat and compact storage, avoiding the problems of mutual interference, collision or incomplete positioning that may occur when multiple support legs 21 share a storage space.

[0035] In one specific embodiment, the storage part 42 is disposed at the end of the base 11 away from the limiting part 41, the end of the support leg 21 near the base 11 is adjacent to the limiting part 41, and the end of the support leg 21 away from the base 11 can enter the storage part 42.

[0036] Specifically, the storage part 42 is arranged on the far end of the base 11 relative to the limiting part 41, with the limiting part 41, the rotating shaft 30, and the storage part 42 distributed sequentially along the rotation path of the support leg 21. The end of the support leg 21 closest to the base 11 is always adjacent to the limiting part 41 during both stationary and unfolded states, while the end of the support leg 21 furthest from the base 11 first enters the storage part 42 when folded inward along the second direction F2.

[0037] Furthermore, during storage, the support leg 21 can rotate around the end of the pivot 30 near the base 11, causing the end away from the base 11 to gradually move towards the storage section 42 and eventually smoothly enter the storage section 42. This not only further reduces the overall size of the bracket, making it easier to carry and transport, but also provides good protection for the support leg 21. During transportation, the storage section 42 can prevent the support leg 21 from being hit or scratched by external objects, extending the service life of the support leg 21.

[0038] Furthermore, the limiting part 41 and the storage part 42 form an end gap in the length direction of the base 11. The gap distance matches the length of the support leg 21, which is usually 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the length of the support leg 21 after it is unfolded, to ensure that there is no space conflict when rotating.

[0039] In one specific embodiment, the limiting part 41 has a stop block 411, and the supporting leg 21 has a stop surface 21a on the side facing the stop block 411. When the supporting leg 21 rotates along the first direction F1, the stop block 411 contacts the stop surface 21a.

[0040] Specifically, the stop block 411 is preferably made of metal and has a rectangular or trapezoidal shape. The stop block 411 is fixedly installed on the base 11 and located at the end of the unfolding movement trajectory of the support leg 21, thereby limiting the unfolding angle of the support leg 21. When the operator unfolds and rotates the support leg 21 along the first direction F1, the stop surface 21a on the support leg 21 will move accordingly until its movement trajectory collides with and fully fits against the fixed stop block 411.

[0041] Furthermore, the contact between the stop surface 21a on the support leg 21 and the stop block 411 not only effectively prevents the support leg 21 from rotating excessively, but also evenly distributes the force borne by the support leg 21 onto the stop block 411 and the stop surface 21a, avoiding structural damage due to excessive local stress. For example, in some complex outdoor environments, the electronic fence bracket 100 may be subjected to various external forces such as wind and collisions with people. The contact ensures that the support leg 21 can still be stably maintained in the extended position under these external forces, providing reliable support for the electronic fence.

[0042] Furthermore, when the operator unfolds the support leg 21, they only need to rotate the support leg 21 along the first direction F1. When they hear or feel the stop block 411 contacting the stop surface 21a, the support leg 21 has already been unfolded to the appropriate position, without the need for additional adjustments or calibrations. This greatly improves operational efficiency and is especially suitable for scenarios requiring rapid deployment of electronic fences, such as emergency rescue sites and temporary event areas.

[0043] In one specific embodiment, the storage part 42 has an open structure; the storage part 42 has a positioning member 421, the support leg 21 has a locking member 21b, and when the support leg 21 rotates along the second direction F2, the locking member 21b can be disposed in the positioning member 421.

[0044] In one specific embodiment, the locking member 21b is a protruding structure, and the positioning member 421 is a groove structure.

[0045] Specifically, the storage section 42 adopts an open structure, preferably a U-shaped or C-shaped opening body provided along the outer edge of the base 11, which is adapted to the structure of the support leg 21. Its opening faces the recycling path of the support leg 21, making it easy for the support leg 21 to be folded inward along the second direction F2 and directly inserted.

[0046] Furthermore, the locking element 21b is a protrusion on the support leg 21, which can be a ball-head plunger, a rigid protrusion, a ball bearing, or a boss integrally formed with the support leg 21. Correspondingly, the positioning element 421 is a groove within the storage section 42, the shape and size of which match the protrusion, and can be a blind hole, a V-groove, or a hemispherical recess. When the support leg 21 is folded and rotated to the storage position, the protrusion will precisely engage with the groove. This generates locking and unlocking forces, providing the user with significant feedback, ensuring that the support leg 21 is firmly fixed within the storage section 42 in the storage state and will not come out on its own due to external vibrations, shaking, or other factors.

[0047] In one specific embodiment, the rotation angle range A of the support leg 21 relative to the base 11 about the rotation axis 30 satisfies the following relationship: 0°≤A≤120°.

[0048] Specifically, when the rotation angle A=0°, the support leg 21 folds inward along the second direction F2 to the limit position. At this time, the support leg 21 is fully embedded in the storage part 42 at the far end of the base 11. The free end is tightly engaged with the positioning part 421 through the locking part 21b of the protrusion and the groove, which facilitates the storage of the support leg 21.

[0049] Furthermore, when the rotation angle A = 120°, the support leg 21 extends outward along the first direction F1 to the limit position. At this time, the stop surface 21a at the near end of the support leg 21 is completely in contact with the stop block 411 of the limiting part 41. The limiting part 41 restricts the support leg 21 from continuing to rotate outward through surface contact, thereby making the support leg 21 in the extended state.

[0050] Furthermore, in flat and open areas, the support leg 21 can rotate to its maximum unfolding angle of 120°, so that the support leg 21 and the base 11 form an obtuse angle support structure. The ratio of the support span to the width of the box 10 can effectively disperse the impact force of the side wind on the box 10 and prevent the box 10 from tipping over.

[0051] In summary, when unfolding the support frame, the operator only needs to gradually rotate the support leg 21 from its folded state to the desired angle. When it is rotated to nearly 120°, a noticeable increase in resistance will be felt, indicating that the support leg 21 has reached its limit position. At this point, the frame has formed a stable support structure, and no complex adjustments or calibrations are required. Similarly, when folding the support frame, the operator only needs to rotate the support leg 21 in the opposite direction to easily fold it back to a state close to 0°, making it convenient to carry and store.

[0052] The electronic fence bracket 100 with a folding support structure, each of the support legs 21 further includes a foot support plate 50, which is located at the end of the support leg 21 away from the base 11. Specifically, the electronic fence itself has a certain weight, and when subjected to external forces such as wind, collisions with people or animals, it will exert considerable pressure on the support frame. The presence of the foot support plate 50 greatly increases the contact area between the support leg 21 and the ground. When the support leg 21 is extended and rests on the ground, the foot support plate 50 forms a large contact surface with the ground, similar to the foundation in a building, which can better distribute the force borne by the support leg 21 and make the center of gravity of the entire frame more stable.

[0053] Furthermore, the foot support plate 50 can be connected to the support leg 21 via a rotatable foot hinge seat. The foot hinge seat rotates around a pivot 30 that is transverse to the length direction of the support leg 21. The hinge axis is perpendicular to the length direction of the support leg 21, allowing the foot support plate 50 to rotate 0°~90° around the hinge axis. When the support leg 21 is extended outward along the first direction F1 to any angle (0°~120°), the foot support plate 50 rotates to a horizontal state parallel to the ground, ensuring maximum ground contact area. When the support leg 21 is folded inward along the second direction F2, the foot support plate 50 rotates to a vertical state parallel to the length direction of the support leg 21, completely fitting the side wall of the support leg 21, avoiding occupying extra space, and ensuring that the free end of the support leg 21 can be smoothly inserted into the storage part 42.

[0054] In one specific embodiment, the support frame 20 includes: a first support leg 211, a second support leg 212, a third support leg 213, and a fourth support leg 214; the first support leg 211 and the second support leg 212 are disposed adjacent to each other on one side of the base 11, and the third support leg 213 and the fourth support leg 214 are disposed adjacent to each other on the other opposite side of the base 11, and the first support leg 211, the second support leg 212, the third support leg 213, and the fourth support leg 214 are staggered along the width direction of the base 11.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the support frame 20 is preferably provided with four support legs 21. The four support legs 21 are staggered, that is, opposite legs are laterally offset along the width direction of the base 11, the two rotating shafts 30 on both sides are parallel to each other, and each leg corresponds to an independent limiting part 41 and a storage part 42. The staggered layout also avoids interference between the movement trajectories of adjacent support legs 21 during unfolding and folding.

[0056] Each support leg 21 has an independent limiting part 41 and a storage part 42. The independent limiting part 41 can restrict the continued rotation of the support leg 21 when it is extended to a predetermined position, so that the support leg 21 maintains a stable extended state. For example, when the first support leg 211 is extended to its limit position, its corresponding limiting part 41 will lock the first support leg 211 to prevent it from shaking or retracting when subjected to external force, thus ensuring the stability of the electronic fence bracket 100. The independent storage part 42 provides a dedicated space and fixing method for folding the support legs 21. When it is necessary to fold the support leg 21, each support leg 21 can be folded into the corresponding storage part 42 and fixed by the storage part 42 to prevent the support legs 21 from unfolding on their own or colliding with each other during transportation or storage.

[0057] Therefore, the electronic fence bracket 100 with folding support structure provided above, by setting symmetrical support legs 21 connected by pivot shafts on both sides of the base 11 of the housing 10, and configuring limiting parts 41 adjacent to the support legs 21 and storage parts 42 opposite to the support legs 21 at the base 11, ensures that the support legs 21 form a geometric end position by the limiting parts 41 when unfolded, ensuring a consistent unfolding angle, and are housed in the storage parts 42 when folded, achieving integrated and close-fitting storage. This reduces the space occupied by protrusions during transportation and carrying, avoids the inconsistency and loosening risks caused by repeated manual adjustments, and improves deployment efficiency, support stability, and long-term reliability.

[0058] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make improvements without departing from the inventive concept of this application, but these improvements all fall within the protection scope of this application.
