Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aircraft technology, and in particular relates to an aircraft with a replaceable camera. Background Technology

[0002] With their advantages of maneuverability, flexibility, and ease of operation, aircraft have been widely used in various fields such as aerial photography, surveying and mapping, power line inspection, and disaster relief. The cameras they carry, as core data acquisition components, directly determine the quality and efficiency of the operation.

[0003] However, some existing aircraft have difficulty in conveniently replacing cameras during use, resulting in poor adaptability of the aircraft. They cannot quickly switch between different types of cameras according to operational needs, which limits the aircraft's ability to be used in multiple scenarios. At the same time, it also leads to high maintenance costs for the aircraft. When the camera fails, the entire aircraft assembly needs to be repaired or even replaced, which significantly increases operating expenses. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an aircraft with a replaceable camera. By setting up a replacement mechanism, specifically during camera installation, the connecting block on top of the camera is aligned with the connecting groove of the mounting base. The locking block is compressed by the rounded corner of the connecting groove, compressing a spring. After the connecting block is fully inserted, the spring returns to its original position, pushing the locking block into the locking groove. During disassembly, pushing the push rod causes the push block to press the locking block out of the locking groove, allowing the connecting block to be removed. This eliminates the need for complex operations and professional tools, making camera installation and removal easy, significantly simplifying the replacement process, shortening switching time, and allowing users to quickly change to different cameras to adapt to diverse shooting scenarios. This avoids delays in shooting tasks due to cumbersome replacement procedures and solves the problem of difficult camera replacement in some existing aircraft.

The end of the two locking blocks that is far from the corresponding springs extends into the interior of the corresponding locking groove and slides in connection with the corresponding locking groove. The top of the two locking blocks is chamfered so as to cooperate with the rounded corner of the opening of the connecting groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the disassembly assembly includes two slide grooves II formed on the left and right sides of the mounting base. Push blocks are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two slide grooves II. Push rods are fixedly connected to the sides of the two push blocks that are far apart from each other. The sides of the two push rods that are far away from the corresponding push blocks extend to the outside of the mounting base and are slidably connected to the mounting base. Springs II are sleeved on the outer walls of the two push rods. The two push blocks are designed to be T-shaped, and the flange portions of the two push blocks are adapted to the inner walls of the corresponding slide grooves II.

[0010] Furthermore, the guide assembly includes two guide grooves formed on the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the connecting groove, and guide blocks are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the connecting block, with both guide blocks slidably connected to the corresponding guide grooves.

[0011] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a motor mounted on the front side of the fixed base. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to a worm gear via a coupling. The rear end of the worm gear passes through the fixed base and is rotatably connected to the fixed base. A worm wheel is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base.

This utility model, through the setting of a replacement mechanism, specifically, when installing the camera, aligns the connecting block on the top of the camera with the connecting groove of the mounting base. The locking block is compressed by the rounded corner of the connecting groove, compressing the spring. After the connecting block is fully inserted, the spring returns to its original position, pushing the locking block into the locking groove. When disassembling, pushing the push rod causes the push block to squeeze the locking block out of the locking groove, allowing the connecting block to be pulled out. Thus, without complicated operations and professional tools, the camera can be easily disassembled and assembled, greatly simplifying the replacement steps, shortening the switching time, and allowing users to quickly replace different cameras to adapt to various shooting scenarios, avoiding delays in shooting tasks due to cumbersome replacement.

[0014] 2. This utility model, through the setting of an adjustment mechanism, specifically, when adjusting the camera angle, starts the motor on the fixed base. The motor output shaft drives the worm gear to rotate, and the meshing worm wheel rotates accordingly, driving the mounting base to rotate. The mounting base then drives the camera to adjust its angle. During adjustment, the limiting groove of the mounting base slides along the limiting rod, and the limiting rod constrains the rotation trajectory, thereby enabling stable adjustment of the camera angle within a preset range. This allows for adaptation to different shooting angle requirements within a certain range, reducing shooting blind spots caused by fixed angles, improving the diversity and integrity of the shooting footage, and providing more flexible angle support for shooting creation.

[0015] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-5As shown, this utility model is an aircraft with a replaceable camera, including an aircraft body 1 and a camera 11, and further including: a replacement mechanism 2, which is disposed on the aircraft body 1, and is used to replace the camera 11. The replacement mechanism 2 includes a mounting base 21, the bottom of which has a connecting groove 211. A connecting block 212 is fixedly connected to the top of the camera 11, and the top of the connecting block 212 extends into the interior of the connecting groove 211 and slides through the connecting groove 211. Both the connecting groove 211 and the connecting block 212 are designed to be rectangular, and the connecting groove 211 and the connecting block 212 are compatible. The inlet of the connecting groove 211 is rounded. An adjustment mechanism 3 is disposed on the aircraft body 1 and is used to adjust the angle of the camera 11. The adjustment mechanism 3 includes components fixedly connected to the aircraft body 1. The body 1 has a fixed base 31 at its bottom, the bottom of which is slidably connected to the top of the mounting base 21; the replacement mechanism 2 also includes a mounting component 22, which is mounted on the connecting block 212 and is used to mount the camera 11; a disassembly component 23, which is mounted on the mounting base 21 and is used to disassemble the camera 11; a guide component 24, which is mounted on the connecting block 212 and is used to guide and limit the connecting block 212; the adjustment mechanism 3 also includes a drive component 32, which is mounted on the fixed base 31 and is used to provide power for adjusting the angle of the camera 11; and a limit component 33, which is mounted on the fixed base 31 and is used to guide and limit the camera 11 during the adjustment of the camera 11 angle.

[0021] The mounting assembly 22 includes two slide grooves 221 on the left and right sides of the connecting block 212. Springs 222 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the adjacent sides of the two slide grooves 221. Locking grooves 223 are provided on the sides of the connecting grooves 211 adjacent to the two slide grooves 221. Locking blocks 224 are fixedly connected to the ends of the two springs 222 that are away from each other. Limiting washers are fixedly connected to the sides of the two locking blocks 224 that are away from the corresponding locking grooves 223. The height of the two limiting washers is greater than that of the corresponding locking blocks 224 and adapts to the inner walls of the corresponding slide grooves 221, thereby preventing the two locking blocks 224 from disengaging from the corresponding slide grooves 221. One end of each locking block 224 extends into the interior of the corresponding locking groove 223 and is slidably connected to the corresponding locking groove 223. Both locking blocks 224 are adapted to the corresponding locking groove 223. The disassembly assembly 23 includes two sliding grooves 231 on the left and right sides of the mounting base 21.

Springs 23 are sleeved on the outer walls of both push rods 233. 4. One end of each of the two springs 234 is fixedly connected to the corresponding push block 232, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the corresponding slide groove 231. In the initial state, the elasticity of the springs 234 can only make the push block 232 contact the locking block 224, and will not generate a pushing force on the locking block 224. The guide assembly 24 includes two guide grooves 241 opened on the front inner wall and the rear inner wall of the connecting groove 211. Guide blocks 242 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the connecting block 212. The two guide grooves 241 and the two guide blocks 242 are all designed to be rectangular, and the two guide grooves 241 and the two guide blocks 242 are adapted to each other. The two guide blocks 242 are slidably connected to the corresponding guide grooves 241. By setting and replacing Mechanism 2, specifically, involves aligning the connecting block 212 on top of the camera 11 with the connecting groove 211 of the mounting base 21 during installation. The locking block 224 is compressed by the rounded corner of the connecting groove 211, which in turn compresses the spring 222. After the connecting block 212 is fully inserted, the spring 222 returns to its original position, pushing the locking block 224 into the locking groove 223. During disassembly, pushing the push rod 233 causes the push block 232 to press the locking block 224 out of the locking groove 223, allowing the connecting block 212 to be removed. This eliminates the need for complex operations and professional tools, making it easy to assemble and disassemble the camera 11. This significantly simplifies the replacement process, shortens the switching time, and allows users to quickly replace different cameras 11 to adapt to various shooting scenarios, avoiding delays in shooting tasks due to cumbersome replacement procedures.

[0022] The drive assembly 32 includes a motor 321 mounted on the front side of the fixed base 31. The motor 321 is bolted to the front side of the fixed base 31. A worm gear 322 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 31 via a bearing. The output shaft of the motor 321 is fixedly connected to the worm gear 322 via a coupling. The rear end of the worm gear 322 passes through the fixed base 31 and is rotatably connected to it. A worm wheel 323 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base 21, and the worm gear 322 meshes with the worm wheel 323. The limiting assembly 33 includes a limiting groove 331 formed on the mounting base 21. A limiting rod 332 passes through the mounting base 21 and is slidably connected to the limiting groove 331. Both ends of the limiting rod 332 are connected to the fixed base 31. 1. Fixed connection; By setting the adjustment mechanism 3, specifically when adjusting the angle of the camera 11, the motor 321 on the fixed base 31 is started. The output shaft of the motor 321 drives the worm gear 322 to rotate, and the meshing worm wheel 323 rotates accordingly, driving the mounting base 21 to rotate. The mounting base 21 then drives the camera 11 to adjust the angle. During the adjustment, the limiting groove 331 of the mounting base 21 slides along the limiting rod 332. The limiting rod 332 constrains the rotation trajectory, so that the angle of the camera 11 can be stably adjusted within a preset range, adapting to different shooting angle requirements within a certain range, reducing the shooting blind spot caused by the fixed angle, improving the diversity and integrity of the shooting image, and providing more flexible angle support for shooting creation.

[0023] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: When it is necessary to install the camera 11, the connecting block 212 on the top of the camera 11 is aligned with the connecting groove 211 at the bottom of the mounting base 21. Under the action of the guide component 24, the connecting block 212 slides into the connecting groove 211. During the insertion process, the top of the locking block 224 on the connecting block 212 cooperates with the rounded corner part at the entrance of the connecting groove 211, so that the locking block 224 is squeezed by the inner wall of the connecting groove 211, compressing the spring 222 and retracting into the slide groove 221. When the connecting block 212 is fully inserted, the locking block 224 moves to the locking groove 223 position, the spring 222 resets and pushes the locking block 224 into the locking groove 223, completing the camera installation. When the camera 11 is installed, and it needs to be disassembled, push the push rods 233 on both sides towards the inside of the mounting base 21. The push rods 233 drive the push block 232 to slide along the second slide groove 231, and cause the second spring 234 to stretch. When the push block 232 squeezes the locking block 224 to disengage it from the locking groove 223 and retracts to the first slide groove 221, the connecting block 212 can be pulled out from the connecting groove 211, completing the disassembly of the camera 11. After that, release the push rod 233, and the second spring 234 will return to its original position and retract, driving the push block 232 and the push rod 233 to return to their original positions, so that the camera 11 can be disassembled again next time. This makes it easy to disassemble and install the camera 11 without complicated operations, greatly simplifying the replacement steps.

[0024] When the angle of the camera 11 needs to be adjusted, the motor 321 on the front side of the mounting base 31 is started. The output shaft of the motor 321 drives the worm gear 322 to rotate through the coupling. The worm wheel 323 meshing with the worm gear 322 rotates accordingly. The worm wheel 323 drives the mounting base 21 fixed to it to rotate around a specific axis. The mounting base 21 then drives the camera 11 below to adjust its angle. During the angle adjustment process, the limiting groove 331 on the mounting base 21 slides along the limiting rod 332. The limiting rod 332 constrains the rotation trajectory of the mounting base 21, ensuring that the camera 11 always adjusts its angle stably within the preset range. This mechanism allows the camera 11 to adjust its angle within a certain range, thereby meeting the needs of different shooting angles.

[0025] It should be noted that the control of motor 321 in this application can be achieved by using a program set in the control panel and inputting relevant parameters as needed for automated control. This control method can be implemented using existing technologies, such as PLC.
