Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of drone technology and relates to lighting devices, particularly a novel drone lighting device with adjustable angle. Background Technology
[0002] Drone lighting devices are lamps or lighting equipment installed on drones, primarily used to provide additional light sources in low-light or nighttime environments to enhance the drone's visibility and illumination capabilities for specific missions. These devices play a vital role in nighttime flight, surveillance, search and rescue, agricultural monitoring, and aerial photography, helping to locate stranded personnel, improve crop visibility, and enhance photographic quality. Many lighting devices support multiple lighting modes and are typically designed to be lightweight, durable, waterproof, and dustproof, adapting to various external environments and greatly expanding the application scenarios for drones.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent with authorization number CN222432596U, which discloses a novel drone lighting device with adjustable angle. The device includes a drone body, a mounting plate installed on the middle of one side of the drone body, and fixing plates fixed to both ends of the mounting plate's surface away from the drone body. A second gear is rotatably mounted between the opposing surfaces of the limiting plates near the fixing plates. A connecting plate is installed on the middle of the side of the second gear away from the mounting plate. A camera is installed on the middle of the upper part of the connecting plate's surface away from the second gear, and a lighting lamp is installed on the middle of the lower part of the connecting plate's surface away from the second gear. During use, the angle of the lighting lamp can be easily adjusted. When the drone body needs to observe from different angles in a dark environment, the angle of the lighting lamp can be easily adjusted to ensure normal use of the drone body in dark environments.
[0004] The aforementioned patent describes a novel drone lighting device with adjustable angle. When the second gear rotates, it can drive the camera and the lighting lamp to rotate via a connecting plate, thereby rotating the camera and the lighting lamp to the required angle. This makes it easy to adjust the angle of the lighting lamp during use. However, the adjustable angle of the lighting lamp is too small, so the illumination range may not be able to cover the required area. This is particularly disadvantageous for scenarios that require comprehensive lighting (such as search and rescue or monitoring). Therefore, this problem needs to be solved. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a novel drone lighting device with adjustable angle. The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that the lighting adjustment angle is too small, which may prevent the illumination range from covering the required area. This is particularly disadvantageous for scenarios requiring comprehensive lighting.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A novel angle-adjustable drone lighting device includes a base. A limiting disk is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base. The limiting disk is circularly arranged, and a turntable is slidably fitted onto the surface of the limiting disk. A support base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the turntable, and a lighting lamp is rotatably connected to the bottom of the support base. Both ends of the lighting lamp are equipped with rotating mechanisms for rotating the lamp. The turntable surface has multiple second tooth grooves, which are evenly spaced in a ring. The surfaces of the multiple second tooth grooves are fitted with the same third gear, which is rotatably connected to the bottom of the base. A second motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the third gear and to the bottom of the base. A conductive slip ring outer ring is located on the bottom side of the base near the turntable, and a conductive slip ring inner ring is located at the bottom of the outer ring. A second rotating shaft is slidably connected to the bottom of the inner ring and fixedly connected to the top of the turntable. A fixing mechanism for fixing the second rotating shaft is located inside one side of the inner ring. The turntable design ensures a wider illumination range for the lighting lamp.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the rotating mechanism includes a first motor, which is fixedly connected to one side of the support base. The output shaft of the first motor is fixedly connected to a first rotating shaft via a coupling. Two first gears are symmetrically fixedly connected to the surface of the first rotating shaft. Each of the two first gears is fitted with a second gear. The two second gears are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the lighting lamp. By setting the second gears, the lighting lamp can be rotated up and down.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the fixing mechanism includes three locking pins, all of which are slidably connected to the inner ring of the conductive slip ring and are evenly arranged in a ring. An adjusting plate is fixedly fitted onto the surface of each of the three locking pins. Two support columns are fixedly connected to the surface of each of the three adjusting plates away from the second rotating shaft. The other ends of the two support columns are slidably connected to the inner side of the conductive slip ring. Tension springs are fitted onto the surface of each of the two support columns. One end of each tension spring is fixedly connected to one side of the adjusting plate, and the other end of each tension spring is fixedly connected to the inner side of the conductive slip ring. A moving mechanism for moving the locking pins is provided on the surface of each of the three locking pins away from the second rotating shaft. The second rotating shaft can be fixed by the locking pins.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the moving mechanism includes an adjusting ring, which is rotatably connected to one side of the inner ring of the conductive slip ring. A pressing column is fixedly connected to the surface of the adjusting ring near the locking column, and the pressing column and the locking column are mutually cooperating. A plurality of first tooth grooves are formed on one side surface of the adjusting ring, and the plurality of first tooth grooves are evenly arranged in an arc shape. The surfaces of the plurality of first tooth grooves are fitted with the same toothed roller, which is rotatably connected to the inside of the inner ring of the conductive slip ring. A worm gear is fixedly sleeved at the bottom of the toothed roller, and a worm is fitted on the surface of the worm gear. The worm is rotatably connected to one side of the inner ring of the conductive slip ring. Two limiting columns are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the base. Each of the two limiting columns is slidably connected with a buckle, and both buckles are fixedly connected to one side of the outer ring of the conductive slip ring. By setting the pressing column, the locking column can be moved.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] 1. This utility model employs a technology that uses a turntable to drive the lighting lamp to rotate, thus ensuring a wider illumination range. This effectively solves the problem that the lighting lamp's adjustment angle is too small, which may prevent the illumination range from covering the required area. This is particularly unfavorable for scenarios requiring comprehensive lighting. When the lighting lamp needs to be adjusted left or right, a second motor can be activated. Multiple second tooth grooves are provided on the surface of the turntable, and these grooves are connected to the third gear on the output shaft of the second motor. Therefore, when the second motor is activated, the turntable can rotate, thereby adjusting the lighting lamp and ensuring that its illumination range covers a larger area. Attached Figure Description
